Adorable coming-of-age fantasy complete with superpowers and friendship issues.
The story follows two friends, Hugo and Tom, whose friendship is tested when Hugo gets superpowers after a skateboard accident and suddenly everyone wants to be his best friend. His popularity takes him away from his buddy, Tom, and ultimately, he realizes what is most important to him.
Very well produced - from the camera work, audio recording, editing, acting, and special effects. This is a story that perfectly explores the complex social world of middle schoolers. I love how all the kids get around on a skateboard, a unicycle, a scooter or some other form of personal transportation. The youth actors perfectly portray kids of this age and the dialogue is very believable. The background music is very suitable to the story and typical of what kids are listening to currently.
The film's message is about the importance of friendship and being true to our friends.
I give Boom! 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 12, plus adults. By Magita L., KIDS FIRST!
