Featured reviews
After seeing a couple of different trailers and seeing the funny parts I was hoping that the best bits weren't just contained in the trailer like a lot of films now but I was pleasantly surprised that there was plenty of laughs in the film and it had the whole audience laughing.
People complaining that there is rude/crude references and drug references and slating the film because of if, it's 2019 and if you've never heard or seen any of these references before you must have been living under a rock and probably complained and asked for your money back at the cinema.
If you want a funny film with belly laughs and a film you can unwind and watch then this is the one for you. So far seen 72 films this year at the cinema and have to say this is the funniest one I've seen of the year so far and I'd go back and see it a second time.
Plenty of good scenes in the film but one of the favourites for me was the frat house scene but won't give anything away.
If you like funny films then give this a try and you won't be disappointed but if you watch songs of praise this film isn't for you as you probably won't like the rude references

Does a good job showing that it is ok to be your self and to not let those around you affect your own train of thought or ambitions. With that being said...a lot of the funny parts were in the preview. I hate that! But acting, writing and directing were really good. I would watch it again.
For many comedies, the trailers tend to give away most of the funny scenes. Thankfully this doesn't apply for Good Boys. Going into the film I didn't expect much but the humor is constant, all the child actors give amazing performances, and there are multiple story threads that came together nicely. My biggest concerns were cringing at the kid actors and a weak plot but both didn't disappoint. The three main leads were hysterical and their character development came to a satisfying conclusion at the end. There were a surprisingly decent amount interesting plot points. Most moviegoers tend to not focus on a comedy films story but here it doesn't lessen the humor or slow the movie down at all. While their are many over the top comedic scenes, it is balanced with its well thoughtout story.
It's Diary of a wimpy kid + Superbad or if you are an Indian cinema fan, then it's the kiddo version of Phir Hera Pheri.
It's completely awesome. Extremely hilarious.
I laughed out loud at one scene, I won't like to mention. You'll find out by yourself. The three characters are as same as Raju, Babu bhaiya and Shyam of Phir Hera Pheri although just in 6th grade. The things they do are as same as them, and the results are no different. You would love this movie!
I was not prepared to enjoy this movie this much. I was dying laughing. It was was more sweet than I was expecting. It definitely has some mature content, but it's actually a great moving with a sweet message. And HILARIOUS!
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe three child actors were often given lines and words to say with no context or explanation for what they meant. Director Gene Stupnitsky and producer Lee Eisenberg refused to answer any questions the children had and told them to ask their mothers instead.
- GoofsWhen Max pulls out and repeatedly fires the paintball gun, it appears to not have an air supply, so it could not work. In fact, it has a (small) Powerlet or 90 g single-use cartridge attached by an adapter to the tank port. It also has a small hopper, so it could work with that gas and paintball supply just barely having inflicted the mayhem shown, but probably not much more before it ran out of one or the other set of supplies.
- Crazy creditsSPOILER: For the Point Grey logo, It Shows drawings on a desk. One of the drawings says "Thor = Sippy Cup" Which is a big thing in the movie.
