Plot Summary
Syd, an eccentric bookseller with delusions of grandeur fueled by red wine, caused a rift five years ago between the freewheeling bohemian residents of his house and the family next door. Over the course of a balmy summer, he now tries to draft the boy next door to make videos for his online book business. Introverted young Curtis is reluctant at first, but soon gets drawn in by Syd's creative fervor. Their unlikely bond dissolves bad blood between their households, replacing old grudges and repressed secrets with new camaraderie and fresh possibility. The transformative power of forgiveness, ping pong and afternoon cocktails sparks Curtis' first seminal summer, and a season of change for all.

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Desultory, dauntingly DIY but secretly efficient, "Breakfast With Curtis" is something like a leafy summer afternoon in movie form.
Fresh: As unkempt, free-floating and bucolic as that Providence, R.I., abode, Colella's tale of a lad's seminal summer will win hearts and minds at Anglo and Euro fests.
Rotten: "Breakfast With Curtis" is a convincing testament to the curative powers of midafternoon cocktails and ping pong, but it's not much else.
Fresh: A coming-of-age film that defies the trends and traps that have lately made that genre almost insufferable in American cinema.
