Review: Good Boys” is an incredibly funny, laugh-a-minute movie, elevating lowest common denominator humor into potentially its highest form, writes katiewalshstx.
Gene Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg’s raucous tweenage comedy “Good Boys” dives into the sordid, silly world of sex, drugs and middle school. It’s a film about a specific time, that oh-so-short moment when the world of adults permeates a kid’s consciousness, ill-equipped as they are to process or understand any of it, try as they might.
Bean Bag Boys Max , Thor and Lucas are at the age where their vocabulary has far outpaced their growth spurts. The longtime best friends swear up a blue streak while wildly misinterpreting the sex terminology they use, and they’re still deeply programmed byand other kid-friendly antidrug campaigns. “Drugs ruin lives and communities,” Max parrots in a panic when they discover the purse they’ve snatched from his teenage neighbor Hannah contains party drugs.
Welcome to the awkward phase, where growing up is a temporal minefield navigating friendships, relationships, parents and bullies, all while enduring an onslaught of new and confounding information, social pressures and hormones. Will the Bean Bag Boys make it out alive? That becomes increasingly questionable over the course of a single day, wherein the boys have to trade Hannah her drugs for Max’s dad’s drone, which they crashed in her yard while trying to learn about kissing . Hand off the drugs, get the drone, avoid getting grounded, go to the kissing party, achieve popularity, marry your sixth-grade crush.
This is a film about how friendships function within shifting identities and changing times. But above all else, “Good Boys” is just an incredibly funny, laugh-a-minute movie. Eisenberg and Stupnitsky have elevated lowest-common-denominator humor into potentially its highest form, deriving laughs and insight from the adorably immature misunderstandings about the world of boys of this age.
