The Flamingo Kid

A legend in his own neighborhood.

A sun-soaked coming-of-age comedy about a Brooklyn teenager's summer of seduction and ambition, ultimately affirming family bonds over glamorous escape.

Brooklyn teenager Jeffrey Willis, thoroughly unhappy with his modest homestead, embraces the other-world aspects of his summer job at the posh Flamingo Club. He spurns his father in favor of the patronage of smooth-talking Phil Brody and is seduced by the ample bikini charms of club member Carla Samson. But thanks to a couple of late-summer hard lessons, the teen eventually realizes that family should always come first.
