Good Boys: A Kid Friendly Version Of Superbad…. Just Remove The Friendly

This movie is kinda like a car crash, you want to look away but can’t. It’s effective in doing that because I a twenty four year old who has a twelve year old brother just like the kids in this flick are, couldn’t even look at the screen… tell a lie I did.

Now my brother has begun secondary school, which for those in the US that’s basically middle school/high school, he has two mates who come round here almost every week, recently they had a sleepover and they had a laugh talking about video games and all sorts, they even head down to the beach and have a laugh and giggle about stuff that happened in school that very same week.

Now your probably wondering why I’m telling you this, trust me it’ll make so much sense now, I can relate to this film on a level that can’t even comprehend.

Good Boys follows three best mates Jacob Tremblay plays Max, a twelve year old boy whose never kissed a girl before, Brady Noon plays Thor who earns the name sippy cup on account that he wouldn’t drink a bottle of beer, and Keith L. Williams who plays Lucas whose parents are going through a divorce.

Now… the jokes/comedy run riot, the naivety of these twelve year olds are hilarious, especially where one of the boys raids his parents belongings and begin to arm themselves against a guy whose coming to purchase a rare card which Lucas owns, this scene in particular is hilarious because of what the boys load up on, anal beads which they assume is nunchucks, another reason why this scene is downright hilarious is because Jacob Tremblay’s character stands in doorway as they greet the potential buyer wearing a gimp mask, I mean a gimp mask, they got a twelve year old boy to wear a gimp mask.

Trust me this film really put me on edge as when I got back from the movies my brother said he’s going out with the two friends as mentioned above, immediately I was panicking, what is he doing, where is he going and what kind of shenanigans are they going to get up too.

I absolutely loved this film, mainly because it’s by the same team who bought us Sausage Party and Superbad, but because of the comedy that ensues during the ninety minute runtime, the jokes come thick and fast, one minute you’ll be wetting yourselves laughing next you’ll be going aww, I give this film a solid 10/10 it’s hilarious and heartwarming but parents be warned as you will be watching your preteens a little closer after viewing this movie, anyway as always catch you guys later 🙂
