GOOD BOYS (2019) was SURPRISINGLY GOOD
I hate the idea of making a raunchy comedy surrounding kids but it actually was quite good! I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. The first half was very funny, the second half not as much, but still good.
I liked its message that it’s OKAY to grow apart from people with time, because with time we change and usually in different ways, but just because you’re not as close doesn’t mean you can’t still be there for each other and remain friends. It was touching.
Go see it. All three boys were great but Jacob Tremblay was superb. He wasn’t as funny overall as the other two but easily the best actor. I loved when he finally got the girl he wanted then she dumped him, then he dates her best friend only for her to dumb him also so they can be girlfriends together lmao.

They aren’t even teens yet. They’re in 6th Grade aka like 11 or 12.
No nudity. That’s the part I hoped wouldn’t happen in this movie because it’s kid focused and I know Seth Rogen loves grotesque nudity but not here.

R3 no. It doesn’t. It’s a coming of age story.
Did you think a film with children leads was gonna be some deep philosophical film?

They’re no Haley Joel Osment, Oscar nominee.

Jacob Tremblay should have been nominated over Brie Larson.

And in the end the girls go lesbos with each other and totally ignore the little dude! What creative, great writing.

Exactly! What a tired ass storyline.
OP has the depth of a puddle of a puddle if he considers this “surprisingly good.”

Why are we upset two girls end up together? That wasn’t the plot, it was just a scene that implied they were not together.
Literally like 15 seconds long.
Relax. Hypocrites, because you know if he ditched the girls to be with a guy you would love it.

At least it would be original.

Jacob Tremblay could be the next Brad Pitt if he grows up to be as good looking as he is now. He is a wonderful actor. His parents and sister are all great looking people,

Jesus Christ, you’re seriously on here lusting after a 12 year old boy?

No one is lusting after him. I think he’s adorable. He’s a kid.
If he holds onto his looks he will be a beautiful man one day. His dad is hot.

So I am in the theater to see this now and it’s packed with many parents bringing their kids to see it.
Do parents think it’s a family film or????

Why bother when we already know what happens in the movie climax.

That’s not the movie climax.
That’s something implied later.
“Three sixth grade boys ditch school and embark on an epic journey while carrying accidentally stolen drugs, being hunted by teenage girls, and trying to make their way home in time for a long-awaited party.”

Correction r24, it’s an R rated comedy starring kids.
Not a kids film.

More dumbing down of America bullshit. Educated people watch this and laugh thinking “how funny of this trash to do that...!” Rednecks and poor trash watch it and go “dang that’s fucking hilarious and badass! Imma gonna do that!!”

I didn't say it was a kids film. I asked why would you go see a movie about little boys?

Saw Good Boys earlier today. Parents have got to be crazy to bring their kids to this. They will lose their innocence by the end. The parents of Jacob and the other actors have also got to be nuts for having their kids in this film. What parents won't do to get their kids famous.

This movie really makes me wonder about child pedophilia in Hollywood. Is it really that funny to see kids playing with sex swings and sex dolls?
Jeffrey Epstein on my mind, I guess.

Ugh I hate breeder coming-of-age films. It's like these directors want to go back to middle school and re-do it, but this time they get the girl.

To be fair, when Max gets the girl she dumps him shortly after. Then her best friend and him date and she dumps him and the two girls are together instead.
In the end he has yet another new girlfriend.
The other two aren’t into girls yet. Well, the black one seems to be gay

I'm tired of movies with children and teens. I'm not interested in them and what they're interested in. I started watching It and it's full of boring scary stuff.

The trailer is really funny.
I was never a fan of that type of films, but i laughed just watching the trailer (hopefully it won't be one of those films were everything good is already on the trailer)

No r36. There are many good one liners throughout and gags. There’s an ongoing gag throughout the film that they can’t open childproof bottles. It’s actually pretty hilarious every time they try.

R36, I would definitely say that the preview contains a majority of the more funny stuff. They were clearly trying to make this movie similar to Superbad (which of course was hilarious throughout) and even had a similar beer-stealing scene. Unfortunately, there were many scenes throughout the movie which were just not funny. The black kid was a complete disaster and I cringed every time he opened his mouth. Quite shocking he was even cast given his crappy acting and unattractiveness.

R38 he’s a kid. I don’t think him being attractive was a factor. The only one that needed to be attractive was Max. The other two weren’t supposed to be, and funny you single out “the black kid” but not the fat white kid.
And the “black kid” named Lucas got more laughs in my 3 showings than anyone.

R38, please don't tell me you're another race-obsessed Lefty. Yes, I don't know the kid's name so the only way I can identify him is by his skin color. I suppose that makes me a racist. And it's absolutely not possible that the black kid got more laughs than anyone because everyone in my theater cringed every time he opened his mouth. The fat boy was much funnier.

The black kid got the most laughs. His lines were funny and the delivery was funny in a COMEDY.
