Summerhood

Director/screenwriter Jacob Medjuck crafts this incisive tale of childhood friendships revolving around four longtime friends who just so happen to hate each other. Summertime has finally arrived, and a neurotic young boy named Fetus is determined to establish himself in his small social circle. But what happens when a boy struggling for status becomes distracted by puppy love? Later abandoned by his friends and rejected by the object of his affections, the young boy with something to prove discovers that all is not fair in love and friendship. Parents take caution: While Summerhood is a film about children, it is most certainly not a film for children. Christopher McDonald, Joe Flaherty, and Lucien Maisel star in a comedy narrated by John Cusack.
