The story starts in 1976 with music from that period. A kid get hired by a Dr. Kahn (Donald Sutherland, a college professor?) to do outside yard work while vacationing around a lake. There are several plot lines going on and things are not what they initially seem. If you don't listen and see closely, you will miss the townies calling Dr. Kahn an anti-Semitic slur. Look closely during the ice-tea scene and you will very briefly see a fading number tattooed on Dr. Kahn's left forearm, obviously from a concentration camp. The kid is bullied by 2 of the townies and eventually confronts them and wins their respect. Then, he confronts the doctor who he thinks has been taking advantage of him. In the end, it all ties in together and it's very nice.

I'm giving a rating of 9/10 just because, I wanted to bring the rating up Plots are a bit on the flat side. It's guessable but enjoyable What's good is the moral value actually What Dr.Kahn thought us is what I think what this movie is about I believe that there's a good amount of kids at Bob's age that has quite of a similar story to this film. It shares the feeling of what it's like being that person. Like a filmed diary It tells how it is on the other side of the world, different from what it's like being me at 17 Other side of the note, it's quite common with the "Summer Vacation" types of movies Worth to watch on your spare time. Not a must watch but better to look at

Really a nearly perfect movie, and if you don't like it I don't want to hear about it. This is life, especially as a teenager. Annoying, tiring, nagging, you make dumb decisions that haunt you but no one else notices, full of disasters that are not the ones you expect to happen, abusive here and there, boring, great occasionally, and every once in a while the perfect song for the mood.

It's not an Oscar winner. But some have seen fit to award it 1/1o. For me, this film is well shot - the story is simple, honest and resonates. The acting is uniformly excellent. There may be cliches in the portrayal of "Summer folk" on the east Coast of the USA - but that is the reality. So.. why would you have a down on the underdog as he fights unhappy parents, weight issues, bullies, lawnmower, saucy younger sister and - the killer of all killers - unrequited love! All of these are dealt with humanely, realistically, positively and without a sugary coating. And that last shot? Marvellous! Would recommend to anyone who has a a heart!

We really enjoyed this simple little story, well told and well acted. Everyone did a great job and you are left with a warm feeling inside at the end. This was one of my favorite movies of the year. No cussing or nudity. No agendas. Just a great little movie. Highly recommend!

Wonder Years narration? ...Check ...Summer lake? Check ...Out of reach love interest? Check... The point im trying to make is that the film uses summer coming of age movie cliches in a way that is rather bland. It tries to go for a heartwarming kind of vibe and it never feels good or natural. I liked the acting and the setting but the story is not too memorable. The films moral on the other hand is actually quite good.

Measure of a Man is based on the novel One Fat Summer. The book looks at a young man who overeats and has little focus through his life. When he gets a job and learns to face adversity he learns to be a man. The movie follows the novel for the most part, but loses the humor, and misses the whole point of learning independence and self worth through work and effort. The movie seems to have him sitting around the cabin bored far more often than the book did. I may have liked the movie more if I had not read the book, but I think most people will come to this movie hoping to see the book brought to life.

Here are quite a few movies to this degree but this one stood out to me for a few reasons. The main character did a great job and the superb cast that surrounded him didn't take away from his acting. Kept my interested the whole time even though I knew how it would most likely play out, Worth a watch with the family 6.8
