Good Boys

Good Boys is a coming of age comedy of three friends going into the 6th grade who were invited to their first kissing party. 

The themes of friendship, growing up, taking responsibility and growing apart were all great and relevant in this movie.

The plot was fun and interesting. Unfortunately the comedic piece didn’t hit as hard as I wish it would have. There were a couple of funny moments but for the most part all of the best jokes were in the trailers.

I thought that the three kids in this movie, Jacob Tremblay as Max, Keith L. Williams as Lucas and Brady Noon as Thor, did a great job acting off one another and staring in this movie. I have seen Jacob in other films and I think he has a great range for someone so young. Keith L. Williams brought a lot of the comedy and was probably the funniest one in the entire movie but it wasn't enough to carry an entire movie.

The script lacked creativity and it actually became a bit awkward watching 11 year olds cussing and carrying around sex toys. I remember watching Role Models over 10 years ago and thinking it was hilarious watching a young kid throw insults and cuss but the writers this movie couldn’t deliver in the same way. Ultimately, the movie was entertaining but not worth seeing again.
