Good Boys

I haven't laughed so much watching a movie for some time now. This movie is good and I believe most of the reviews on IMBb are from the moral police of the society, I guess. Watch it and have some fun that's what it's made for.And people who think tweens don't behave like that, bad news for you all, they do behave like that.

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!

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.

Produced by Seth Rogen's band of merry men, this vulgar comedy is basically Superbad but with a trio of pre-pubescent boys instead of high schoolers. It's cheap, crude and not particularly clever, but also, at times, bloody hilarious. There's a simple formula for laughs here: three best friends who have just started Middle School (Year 6) embark on a series of adventures thinking they're ready for all the important adult stuff in life like kissing, sipping beer and swearing like convicted felons. Adopting a quantity-over-quality approach to humour, the gags come thick and fast. Inadvertent operation of sex toys, a frat house brawl, an inappropriate Rock of Ages concert, a too-soon experience with porn - everything is thrown at the screen in pursuit of a laugh. Although I wouldn't go as far to say the script is intelligent or original, there are some wittier, more subtle moments of amusement that rely on genuine comedic timing (misused vocab, social unacceptable behaviour) from the youthful leads, and they largely pull it off. Child actors are often hit or miss, skirting a fine line between endearingly precocious and unbearably irritating; however, the headlining trio here land on the right side of childish. They think they know it all of course but are still most definitely "social piranhas." Make no mistake, the creators of Good Boys employ a simple and crass method to generate comedy. They succeeded.

You can't go into this movie taking it seriously cause it doesn't take itself seriously. It's 90 minutes of dumb fun and that's it.
