Working from a peppy screenplay they co-wrote with Will Halby, Andrew Pilkington and Terra Mackintosh, directors Michael Parks Randa and Lauren Smitelli keep the mood so beguilingly light and bright, even during brief romantic setbacks, that it\u2019s remarkably easy to suspend disbelief and gratefully delight in a world where racial divides and ableist prejudices are nonexistent, and just about the only negative stereotype on view is a mean-girl cheerleader.<\/p>\n<p>The all-embracing attitude that propels \u201cBest Summer Ever\u201d is on full display right from the start. It\u2019s the last day of the season at Lakeview Dance Camp, as young sweethearts Sage (Shannon DeVido), who uses a wheelchair, and her football-player boyfriend Tony (Ricky Wilson Jr.) lead a spirited production number in which roughly half the participants are physically or developmentally challenged \u2014 a ratio sustained throughout the rest of the film.<\/p>\n<p>Parting is such sorrow for the pair: Sage is going on the road again with her unconventional moms, Gillian (Holly Palmer) and Kate (Eileen Grubba), itinerant marijuana farmers who journey from place to place in search of secluded planting grounds. Tony says he\u2019s bound for New York to study at a prestigious dance academy \u2014 which is a lie, but we\u2019ll get to that later \u2014 and will miss Sage every day that they\u2019re apart.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, they don\u2019t stay apart very long.<\/p>\n<p>When their vehicle breaks down in small-town Pennsylvania, Gillian and Kate rent a cabin in a secluded area where the \u201ccannabis cultivators\u201d (as they call themselves) can raise their crop. Sage, seizing a rare opportunity for stability in her life, enrolls in a nearby high school \u2014 where, on her first day of class, she runs into Tony.<\/p>\n<p>Turns out that Tony is the kicker for the Mount Abe Eagles, a hapless high school team that is relying heavily on him \u2014 and not at all on Cody (Jacob Waltuck), their klutzy quarterback \u2014 to end the school\u2019s 25-year run of losing homecoming <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s. Truth to tell, he\u2019d rather be a ballet dancer than an ace kicker. But he keeps his terpsichorean tendencies (and his enrollment in a dance camp) a secret from his classmates, preferring to tell them, or rather sing to them, about the terrific girl he met at a more conventional summer camp. Meanwhile, Sage describes to her friends the terrific guy she met during the summer. All of which cues the team mascot to comment: \u201cThis sounds so familiar. Tell me more, tell me more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s only one of the cheeky wink-wink references to other musicals you\u2019ll find in \u201cBest Summer Ever,\u201d a movie that includes a solo dance in a barn where you half-expect Tony to bump into Kevin Bacon, and a passing reminder that Patrick Swayze also had some smooth moves in his prime.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, however, \u201cBest Summer Ever\u201d is too earnest and charming to ever feel smart-alecky or unduly spoofy, and the winning performances by DeVido and Wilson go a long way toward encouraging a serious emotional investment in the relationship between Sage and Tony.<\/p>\n<p>The major impediment to their h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ily-ever-aftering? Ruthless beauty Beth also has designs on Tony \u2014 if only to trade on his star power so she can be elected homecoming queen. As played by MuMu (aka Madeline Rhodes), who co-wrote most of the movie\u2019s clever songs with Peter Halby, Beth is an amusingly over-the-top mean girl on steroids, so wicked that she actually thanks a \u201cLordess of Eternal Death\u201d when things go her way. But we all know what happens to characters like that in <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> like this, right?<\/p>\n<p>By the way: Look very closely, and you\u2019ll spot fleeting cameo appearances by Benjamin Bratt, Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Sarsgaard. Their characters are of minimal importance to the plot \u2014 but, really, who can blame them for wanting to drop by and join the fun?<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-tags \/\/ a-children-icon-bullet lrv-u-font-family-primary u-letter-spacing-012 lrv-u-line-height-large lrv-u-color-brand-primary\">\n<h2 id=\"optional-screen-reader\" class=\"lrv-a-screen-reader-only\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"optional_screen_reader\"><\/span>\n        optional screen reader  <span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<nav class=\"o-nav  o-nav lrv-u-border-b-1 u-border-color-brand-secondary-40 lrv-u-border-t-1 lrv-u-text-align-center lrv-u-padding-b-025 u-padding-t-050@desktop u-padding-t-050@tablet u-padding-t-050@mobile-max lrv-u-margin-t-2 lrv-u-margin-b-2\" data-dropdown=\"\">\n<h4 id=\"\" class=\"o-nav__title lrv-u-color-black lrv-u-font-family-secondary o-nav__title a-content-ignore u-line-height-140 u-letter-spacing-0002\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_More_About\"><\/span>Read More About:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/nav>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
