Synopsis
Red Oaks (2014) is a coming-of-age comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. It's the summer of 1985 in suburban New Jersey, and college kid David Myers is killing time as an assistant tennis pro at the Red Oaks Country Club while putting off a decision about his future.
His dad is recovering from a heart attack, his parents' marriage is fraying, and the club throws him among oddball coworkers and entitled members. David falls for Skye, an art student whose corporate-raider father Getty looms over everything, and slowly figures out what he actually wants come fall. Craig Roberts leads, with Paul Reiser, Jennifer Grey, Richard Kind and Gina Gershon filling out the cast.
Made for Amazon by a roster that includes David Gordon Green and Amy Heckerling, the show runs on warm 1980s nostalgia and the awkwardness of being twenty and unsure. It's a low-key watch for anyone who likes stories about the last summer before real life starts. Stream Red Oaks (2014) online on iFILM.
