6.6 / 10 · TMDB

Igby Slocumb, a rebellious and sarcastic 17-year-old boy, is at war with the stifling world of old money privilege he was born into. With a schizophrenic father, a self-absorbed, distant mother, and a shark-like young Republican big brother, Igby figures there must be a better life out there -- and sets about finding it.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film doesn't try to be funnier than it is — and that's its honesty. The humor grows from situations and characters, not from pre-written jokes.

The film does exactly what it was made for: gives you a break. No pretensions to more, but honest and without dead spots.

A solid choice for company. Works alone too, but funnier together.

Director: Burr Steers
