This Is the Disk-O-Boyz

Boy Wonderz is a movie about growing up in a band and it's very funny. I love N Sync and now I love the diskoboyz. its fun to see that even super popular guys in boy bands have problems. It's a good date movie. My boyfriend's into hiphop and stuff but he liked it, too and thought it was very funny. The movie really makes you feel good. Even though it has some similarities what's on TV this was better.

First off, ALL of the boys (and most of the men) are obviously gay in real life, so there must have been some fun going on when they were making this. Unfortunately, it doesn't show in the finished product. Maybe the guys were too pre-occupied with having sex to think about acting, because there is none here. Oddly enough the one openly 'gay' member of the group in the movie is also the most unattractive. The director really should have made this a soft-core gay porn film, because it probably would have made more money that way. The music is dreadful as is the so-called 'singing'. The guy who does 'What a Wonderful World' should be castrated for butchering a good song. A waste of time for all.

When the movie started out I thought it was going to be another boy band spoof. It was at first. But then I realized they weren't so much making fun of them as they were saying how hard it was to be in a boy band. It was like they had written the script as a comedy but got bored and changed it to a drama. It also had a few long conversations that are hard to stay awake for. I just don't get the point to this movie because it lacks a strong plot.

Since I love independent films, I decided to give this one a try. "Boy Wonderz" has to be one of the weirder films I've ever seen. Take five guys, add an extra syllable to their names (except good ol' Kenny) and presto! An instant spoof of the average boy band. The "Susie O'Connell" bit was pushing it into spoof land, but if you've seen (or actually care about) the TV movie that started 2ge+her's career, this will be a been there, done that type of thing. See, I prefer my spoofs available to rent, and lesser known.

I saw Disk-O-Boyz at a sneak and found it to be a fairly entertaining movie. It had it's funny moments but the obvious low-budgetness and bad dramatic scenes take away from the point of the movie. If you love or hate bands like N' Sync, Backstreet Boys and 98 degrees then this movie will have parts that you enjoy. The band's original music like the song "Panties" add to the movie a lot.
