                Toy's House was an interesting film following what most teenage kidswish...A kid who finally breaks free from his parents control. Joe Toyand his friend Patrick get fed up with their parents and decide tobuild a house in the woods to live in.

                I really enjoyed this movie. It seemed to have the right mix of comedyand drama to keep you engaged the whole movie. Watching a couple ofteenage boys try and survive in the woods was a lot of fun, and NickOfferman as Joe's dad was a lot of fun as well. The biggest thing tonote, is that while this is billed as a comedy, it was definitely morethan that. The emotional aspect of this movie was everything you cometo expect from a movie that has to sale itself with a great story, likemost films at Sundance, which made it all that more fun.
