Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

Moonrise Kingdom (2012)

Moonrise Kingdom is another coming to age movie, based in the 1960s. This one brings together Bruce Willis and Bill Murray. Two 12 year old lovers runaway as a hurricane force storm brews. Bruce Willis, the police captain, and Bill Murray, join forces with a Scout troop to look for them. The situation is hilarious and laughter is inevitable. At 12 years old in the 1960s I was not nearly as knowledgeable as the young people in the film were about some things. I'm sure their actions didn't surprise my 13 year old granddaughter, but I blushed and grandma proposed we fast forward the rough spots. Otherwise it was good fun.
