A hugely likeable coming-of-age tale set in 1980s Britain, about a pair of school friends who decide to film a sequel to Rambo.

The 'Son Of Ranbow' is about two different boys.One living a very Religious life living by the strict rules but dreams dreams even though he isn't supposed too this boy is called Will.The other boy (Lee Carter) lives a rich life in a care home because his Spanish dad works there.His mum went with his dad to Spain leaving Lee's brother in charge so he can have freedom without anyone telling him off (unlike Will).Their shared dream of making a movie leads them into a lot of exiting and chaotic adventures!When Will is sent to a public school he isn't aloud to watch any videos according to his religion so when being sent out of the room,whilst the others watch a clip it is then when he meets future friend Lee Carter.

I really liked the story-line of this film.I don't hate it but it got a bit boring after a while and I completely lost where we were.The film had a lot of things happening lots of dilemmas and conclusions but for me not every dilemma was solved.Apart from that I really enjoyed it has everything comedy,drama and you might even need some tissues!
