A Summer to Remember is one of those TV movies that kind of slips under the radar but has its own charm. It dives deep into the struggles of young Toby, who's grappling with silence after losing his hearing. The atmosphere is a mix of bitterness and warmth, especially as Toby's relationship with the orangutan, Casey, unfolds. Their bond feels genuine, and the moments of communication between them are surprisingly touching. The pacing is fairly consistent, with some slower parts that allow for character development. It's interesting to see the practical effects with Casey, who definitely steals the scenes. The film touches on themes of acceptance and connection, making it a distinct piece of 80s television.
