Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Brighton Dude This so well filmed, it is a delight to watch. This is very well acted coming out and a coming of age story. The drama is very well handled. This film has a very efficient script. Quite a lot is communicated in a simple manner.I found myself wanting to return to my own youth a bit. I think films like this tend to make middle-aged people like me a bit nostalgia. I wish I had handled that time of my life as well as the young gay men in this film.
Michael Radny This film felt very tedious and out of place during the time I watched it. It was extremely boring, despite having some interest in watching it. I'm not sure if it was just my mindset going into it, but the characters gave very little to like and the story just felt shallow and uneven. Despite this, I thought the concept was interesting, which is the reason I watched it, but just the flow of the film was all over the place.Boys was surprisingly a failure and underwhelming for me. The topic, I guess, is explored with some depth, but the overall execution of the film was terrible. I may watch it again sometime just to see if I missed anything, but unfortunately this film was not good.
ekeby At this writing the previous reviews save one all heap praise on this sweet little movie. The lone dissenter hated it.I understand both points of view. It's well done, nicely framed, and tells a story that flows quite naturally. It is subtle, and it shows us what's happening rather than tells us, which is what a good movie needs to do. On the other hand, we have seen this story and virtually every plot device it uses in countless other gay films from the last 30 years.More than one review here compares Boys to Beautiful Thing. No, sorry. Not even close. Beautiful Thing is unflinching in its hard boiled, sardonic view of teen age angst. This movie should only be compared to Beautiful Thing by calling it Beautiful Thing Ultra Lite.Now, that's not a bad thing, necessarily. And, evidently, for a lot of people, Ultra Lite is enough. I won't say I didn't enjoy it, because I did; it's very watchable. But if you go into this expecting a masterpiece, well, you may not find it. Especially if you've seen a lot of gay-themed movies that are really good.
rjhouston Boys is a 2014 Dutch (with English subtitles) made for TV film, starring Gijs Blom in the lead as Sieger and Ko Zandvllet as his love interest, Marc. It is set in the countryside and the cinematography is beautifully done. The storyline maybe tame by American standards but is solid and believable. Sieger is discovering his sexuality amidst dealing with the loss of his mother, over protective father and a rebellious older brother. Marc, confident and free spirited, is comfortable with his gayness and pursues a friendship with Sieger. The two are in training for the big upcoming track relay race. As the story unfolds we see the romance develop between the youths. This is a wholesome, romantic, first love story that will be enjoyed by most. Mischa Kamp's work succeeds without resorting to the typical and tired formula of sex and drugs. This is a great film, for teens and their parents to watch together.
