After her mother passes away, Jenny feels sad, angry, and alone in the middle of Los Angeles. To help her heal, Jenny's father decides that a visit with her grandmother in Thailand may be a step toward healing. But the local farming village that she moves to couldn't be more opposite from the life she knows in America. Fitting in here is not going be easy. What follows is a story of adventure and transformation as she builds a friendship with an outcast boy who faces huge challenges of his own. Together, they team up to face a group of bullies while he shares with her his love of animals and glimpses into the magic of nature.

To label My Best Worst Adventure as a Coming of Age movie could be the logical move, but it ends up being so much more than that. A movie about Unsolved family traumas, unexpected friendships and the power of bonding under the most strange circumstances.

Rated: 8/10

The driving forces behind "My Best Worst Adventure" are the performances of Patra and Rugtawatr who, though always silent, convey a breadth of emotions that are easy to relate to, understand and appreciate.

Rated: 3/4
