Showed promise, never delivered

Kyle, Brad and Eric are three young teenage boys with a secret clubhouse where no girls are allowed unless they take off their tops (a reference to the pictures on the wall). One day they find Luke in their clubhouse with a gun, a badge and a big secret. Luke seems nice enough and even becomes a good friend to the boys. But he has been shot and he doesn't want them telling the cops or even taking him to the doctor. His wound is minor enough the boys can fix him up, but there may be something he's not telling them.

Kyle wants to be a pilot, but his father does not seem to support his dreams, and he has a loser jerk of an older brother named Jake. He also wants to date Megan.

I liked the scenes with Kyle and Megan. There was some comedy in this movie, and a scene where two of the boys made trouble in a liquor store was one of the most enjoyable for me. I thought Chris Penn gave a really good performance as Luke, making a dramatic personality change as the movie took a dark turn.

Some movies might have recovered from what happened in the second half. For me, this one never did. It was more violent than I would have liked, for one thing. And some things happened in that club house that just weren't pleasant. I was hoping this movie would be a little more positive. It wasn't exactly 'Stand by Me'.

Be careful about choosing your heroes .................

Three impressionistic 14 yr. olds discover a fugitive in an isolated shack they use as a club house. Chris Penn is excellent in the role of the unhinged and wounded killer. The script comes across as mostly believable, and builds tension nicely. The acting by all involved is totally acceptable, and the rural setting feels correct. This really is beyond the usual coming of age film, because of the violence. The film's message, if there is one, seems to be, be careful about choosing your heroes. For admirers of Chris Penn this is a must see...................................... Recommended as above average entertainment. - MERK

A well done independent flick!

I am a huge fan of the movie 'Final Destination' and think that Devon Sawa is a good actor, thats why I saw The Boy's Club and because it really sounded intriguing. Three teenage boys have a secret hideaway in the woods and spend all of their spare time there due to the teacher's strike in their small town of Ontario. But when they encounter a mysterious drifter named Luke who is hiding out in their shack, things take a turn for the worst. At first things go fine. The three boys, Kyle, Brad and Eric admire this stranger and think he's really cool, but Luke has a deadly secret. I won't spoil it for you guys but this film is really excellent and kept me glued to the screen. The only other independent feature I have seen is the 1978 classic 'Halloween'. The Boy's Club is no Halloween, but it is a great flick. I am desperately trying to find a copy of this to buy. Amazon.co.uk don't have this available and American video cassettes don't work over here in Australia so I am in a fix. That's how much I love The Boy's Club. The film is well acted by it's young stars and you will really hate Chris Penn in the end. Don't let the independent/B-grade feel to this movie fool you, it is really cool and one of the best flicks I have seen in a long time.

Another bleak but well acted small Canadian movie

It's pretty well made, though these kids seem years too old to have a club house.

It's just so bleak, it seems like maybe they could have lightened it up. It reminds me of Repeaters, though it's not that dark by a long shot, but it feels like such a slog to get to the good parts.

Basically, all I have to say is that Devon Sawa is FINE!!!!

Ok, so I admit...I rented this to see Devon cuz I've loved him ever since Casper(pretty lame, huh?). Anyhow, the movie was actually pretty good. But I know that the only reason that I'm saying that is cuz of Devon. At least I admit it. But don't get me wrong, the movie wasn't bad...I liked it :) I loved to see Devon's cute voice crack all the time and his daring, bad boy(well, sorta bad boy), wild, and adventurous self.

Citations
Eric: This is rash. This is the rashest thing that's ever happened to us before.
Kyle: Right, what are we even talking about this for?
Brad: Why don't we just go home?
Eric: The guy's a fucking fugitive, man.
Brad: Great, I hate this, you realize that?
[Eric breaks a stick with his knee and throws it into the woods]
Eric: What? Who do you hate?
Brad: Yeah, hilarious. The guy said it was the police that are after him. So why don't we just not do this, okay? Are you even listening to me?
Eric: No.
Kyle: Look at this thing.
[Kyle, Brad and Eric see a old car]
Brad: What does this say about him? I guess he was a little disappointed.
Kyle: C'mon, he's a cop, Brad, we gotta help him.
Brad: We don't- we don't even know the guy, I mean, there might be accomplices. Kyle, the guy's been shot. He needs real medical attention, I mean we could have a real doctor go down there and no one would know the difference.
Eric: What? Look, you heard what he said, right? The only thing he's got is us. Us three, our shack, our fucking shit, okay? All right? Let's go Kyle.
[Kyle taps his hands on the back of the trunk of the car]
Eric: What? Look, you heard what he said, right? The only thing he's got is us. Us three, our shack, our fucking shit, okay? All right? Let's go Kyle.
[Kyle taps his hands on the back of the trunk of the car]
Eric: One, two, three.
[They start to push the car, but Brad stops]
Kyle: This doesn't have to be a big deal, Brad. We push the car, so what?
Eric: [shouting to Brad] Here we go, Bradley! Are you in or are you out? Huh?
Brad: [shouting back] Of what?
