Moonrise Kingdom
Boy Scout leaders are like surrogate fathers to boys growing up without a dad - except they molest you on camping trips.
Fortunately, the orphan in this romantic-comedy isn't a member of the Boy Scouts.
When 12-year-old Khaki Scout Sam (Jared Gilman) goes AWOL from his summer camp on a New England island, his Scout Master (Edward Norton) and troop give chase.
Meanwhile, an island native, Suzy (Kara Hayward), escapes her troubled home life and rendezvous' with her pen pal Sam, whom she met at a church play.
Elsewhere, the police (Bruce Willis), Suzy's parents (Bill Murray, Frances McDormand) and Social Services (Tilda Swinton) search for the young lovers during a flash flood.
A preteen summer fling, Moonrise Kingdom is an instant eccentric classic crammed with director Wes Anderson's trademark quirky cast, retro fashion and vinyl recordings.
Incidentally, statistics show that 95% of people who runaway from an island drown. (Green Light)
