Right now, the movie is not rated. However, it would fall into the PG range with some intense action sequences, mild language, and some alcohol consumption. There is no nudity, foul language, or drug use.
The title of the movie was the very first thing the writers actually came up with. There are several Summervilles around the southeast, but the Summerville depicted in the movie isn't based on any particular one.
Absolutely! The writers and director decided, well before production began, that they wanted to make a hilarious movie that could be watched by the entire family. At the premiere, several children came with their parents and enjoyed the funny antics from the very eccentric characters on screen.
Yes! Boys of Summerville has been awarded 4 different awards at the various festivals it screened at. Although IMDb only has a partial list of festivals that a film can screen and win awards at, the other 3 honors Boys of Summerville took home were "Honorable Mention for Best Film" at the Philiadelphia Filmathon, "3rd place Best Overall Film" at the Gatlinburg Screenfest, and "Award of Merit" at the Indie Distribution Fest.
Absolutely not! In fact, every single character in the movie is actually based on one or more people the writers knew. They wanted to keep stereotypes as far from the movie as possible, and drawing upon references from friends and family members helped do just that!
It is inspired by a true story. The character in the movie, Charles "Buddy" Davis, is actually based on Brooks and Jason Benjamin's father. Everything that Buddy Davis' son, Peter, says about him in the movie are true facts about Brooks' and Jason's father. He was scouted by several major league baseball teams; he did have tunnel vision in his eye; he is considered a local hero and softball legend; and unfortunately, he did pass away from cancer.
Yes! The DVD is packed with special features! It offers a director commentary track, select cast commentary track, deleted scenes, extended scenes, bloopers, and a "Focus on Rocky" featurette!
