Almost Kings
(login to rate)
A grimly authentic tale about wasted teenage lives, ALMOST KINGS features frank performances by its cast of young actors. All across small-town America, teenagers are fueled by boredom, alcohol, and hormones. This is the story of just one kid – a smart high school freshman named Ted who lives with his abusive, paralyzed father and his older brother Truck. Truck is a star of the football team and leader of the “Kings” -- high school royalty and hellions in reality. Ted starts hanging out with the Kings and soon hears they have a contest going to see who can have sex with the most freshman girls. Hoping to impress them, Ted reluctantly signs on and invites his female classmates to drinking parties. While Ted’s real friends want him to concentrate on their quiz bowl team, he digs himself in deeper with the gang, lying to them that he’s deflowered a girl. When he discovers Truck is cheating on his pregnant fiancée, Ted tells her about the contest. Furious, Truck sets a trap for his little brother. When Ted realizes the goal he’s set for himself is rotten, he starts to become a man by his own actions. –B.B.
