Run time: 93 min. | U.S.A. | Language: English
In a hilarious, violent and sometimes tragic look at family dynamics, this unique coming of age story explores first love, last love and the dangers of the American dream. The film revolves around an awkward, sensitive 15-year-old boy, Scott Bartlett, whose family life is turned upside-down after an outbreak of Lyme disease hits the community. While Scott is able to find solace in his neighbor and idolized older brother, the rest of the community is falling apart. However, after his brother is shipped off to war, Scott discovers the pedestal he’s built for his idols can barely support the weight of his own youthful innocence, let alone those he places on top.

Startling performances, searing dialogue and an archaeologist's sense of late '70s period detail power the violently funny "Lymelife." Intense perfs by Rory Culkin and Alec Baldwin are standouts in a movie that brims with vivid supporting turns. --Variety's Bob Nelson.
