Like Rabbits

About This Movie

So, 'Like Rabbits' from 1982, right? It’s one of those films that really captures the essence of summer innocence. The story follows these two boys, who start off as rivals but end up forming a close bond over their time at a recreation area. The pacing is interesting—slow but deliberate, letting you soak in the atmosphere of those lazy summer days. The performances feel genuine, almost like you’re watching real kids rather than actors. There’s something distinct about the way it handles themes of friendship and rivalry without getting too melodramatic. It’s almost like a slice-of-life piece, with practical effects that keep it grounded. You can almost smell the grass and hear the cicadas in the background. It’s charming in its own way.
