The Way, Way Back
The Way, Way Back is a 2013 American coming-of-age comedy-drama film written and directed by Nat Faxon and Jim Rash in their directorial debuts. It stars Liam James as Duncan, an introverted 14-year-old who goes on summer vacation to Wareham, Massachusetts with his mother and her overbearing boyfriend. It also stars Steve Carell, Toni Collette, Allison Janney, AnnaSophia Robb, Sam Rockwell, and Maya Rudolph, with Rob Corddry, Amanda Peet, Faxon, and Rash in supporting roles. Faxon and Rash conceived the film in the early 2000s; but it spent several years in development hell before funding could be secured. Filming lasted several months during summer 2012. It premiered at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, where Fox Searchlight Pictures (which also distributed The Descendants, co-written by Faxon and Rash) acquired distribution rights to it. The film was theatrically released in the United States on July 5, 2013, where it received positive reviews and was a box office success, grossing $26.9 million against its $5 million budget.
Come on. Lunch hour's over. Well, so much for the game of my life. But you still have one more man left. No, I've yet to see the second board. Gives me something to look forward to. The board's always the same. Well, there's that. Thank you. Now, I can die. Here. Get in here. No, I... Come on, come on.

I wasn't sure about you. I met her when she was catering some Halloween party in Albany. He went as a sexy cop. Oh, God! No. I went as a '70s, badass cop. Oh, he followed me around all night, saying that he was there to "protect and serve" me. That about ended it right there for me. Sadly, I would have been working his bag at that point. However, I do remember. You did let me help you pack your van at the end of the night. -Yes, I did. -Yes, you did. Then it took three months to get her to go out with me. Three months?
