Official Synopsis:
Jamie’s dream camping trip is ruined before it begins when he finds out that his cousin is bringing her new boyfriend. However, his initial jealousy of the competent and confident Dan quickly turns into a friendship as they bond over cooking, games and both being ‘big boys’. As his burgeoning crush gets him into awkward scrapes and arguments, Jamie begins to come to terms with who he is, and his desires. Hilarious and heartwarming, Big Boys is the type of coming-of-age film we need more of.
Available on DVD, VOD, digital June 11th, 2024.
