This Chad Hartigan film follows the story of Morris, a 13-year-old rapper, who moves from America to picturesque Heidelberg, Germany, with his widowed father. According to The New York Times, "the novelty of the setting and the familiarity of the premise — an adolescent boy navigating a bumpy stretch on the road from boyhood to maturity — combine to give Morris From America buoyancy and heart," and, "if you know someone Morris’s age and swearing is not a deal-breaker for you, this is a perfect movie to see together as the new school year approaches."
