It's the summer before 6th grade, and Clark is the new-in-town biracial kid in a sea of white. Discovering that to be cool he needs to act 'more black,' he fumbles to meet expectations, while his urban intellectual parents Mack and Gina also strive to adjust to small-town living. Equipped for the many inherent challenges of New York, the tight-knit family are ill prepared for the drastically different set of obstacles that their new community presents, and soon find themselves struggling to understand themselves and each other in this new suburban context.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Rob Meyer constructs the narrative on a delicate balance between situational comedy and a dramatic exploration of racial and social identity. He relies on authentic dialogue and keen observation, favoring specific, relatable moments over broad statements.

What lingers after the film is a poignant reflection on the micro-aggressions of suburban life and the resilience of family bonds. It’s a gentle, insightful comedy that finds humor in discomfort and truth in awkwardness. — MovieFinder Editorial
