-Comment: A fat boy in blue bibs (Devin Ratray, picture 1 near the beginning) and a teen boy in blue bibs (picture right on the right, also on pic 2 after he was lying on the stomach). Perhaps even more. I don't know the entire movie, but this seems to be a very good and funny film set in Mississippi 1942. Aka The River Pirates. Also swimming scenes in underwear, which are very huge from the fat boy. I like those films of the 1930s and 40s with a rural background. Perhaps the boy is a bit too fat. I think the young actors did a good job and I have to see the whole movie. Rated PG.

Update: Also an older teen boy in bibs, see update. Best is the sitting scene (outside). Probably rather rating 7. Occurence was often, but he's not that often shown, so medium+
