Son of Rambow arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. Son of Rambow does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Will is looking for an escape from his family when he encounters Lee, the school bully. Armed with a video camera and a copy of Rambo, Lee plans to make his own action-packed video epic. Bill Milner and Will Poulter lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It hit screens in 2007.
