Leave your thoughts about Funeral Kings.
| Film ThrillsDeirdre CrimminsAlex Maizus's performance actually blew me away. |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyFuneral Kings is confident and controlled and, with an unabashed vulgarity underscoring everything, about as pure a piece of movie memory as I can name. |
| EricDSnider.comEric D. SniderOf all the coming-of-age films set among adolescents at Catholic schools, this is one of the most heartfelt and charming, not to mention one of the most realistically vulgar. |
| VarietyJohn AndersonA raggedy but refreshing yarn about the near-terminal condition known as male adolescence. |
| Los Angeles TimesMark OlsenThe easygoing charm of Funeral Kings and its impulse toward honesty over overstatement robs the film of true dramatic tension, and a number of story lines - involving drugs, rivalry, love interests - are left somewhat unresolved. |
| NPRIan BuckwalterBut the McManuses' skill with character detail does hold promise for future efforts. The boys in the film are on the verge of maturity; while there appears to be very little grace in their interactions with their church, they are just beginning to find some within their own characters. Perhaps that's appropriate for two directors who seem on the threshold of an artistic maturity hinted at by this first effort. |
| New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottNo, Funeral Kings isn't quite dead on arrival -- but it's not too far from needing life support. |
| User ReviewBrian J. GAfter all this time, I saw this back in early 2013. This movie is still in my top 10. Great, true to life. You don't want this movie to end. I'm so happy I saw it, I just wish I could've saw it in theaters. I recommend to everyone, this perfect coming of age flick. |
| User ReviewJim LYou could name this Stand By Me 2 - it is a great story and excellent acting! |
| User ReviewOscar GThe movie works because of the hilarious and realistic way it portrays these 14 year-olds. We've all known kids like this growing up- horny, selfish, rude kids who you probably shouldn't be hanging out with, but still do. Funeral Kings captures the essence of being a kid so well, that any script-related problems can easily be ignored |
