Leave your thoughts about Good Boys.
| IGNLaura PrudomGood Boys somehow manages to balance its risqué, scatological impulses with a surprisingly sweet, resonant coming-of-age tale. |
| Paste MagazineOktay Ege KozakGood Boys manages to find that happy medium between outrageous and heartstring-pulling. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperYes, it’s a raunchy, edgy, hard-R comedy about a trio of 12-year-old boys who drop the f-bomb every other sentence and get involved in all sorts of predicaments featuring sex toys and beer and molly — but even the most hardcore jokes have a good-natured and even sweet larger context. |
| Consequence of SoundDan CaffreyEven if the rapid-fire pace of the jokes keeps a tiny handful of them from landing, the film gets bonus points for not being afraid to get emotional. |
| IndieWireEric KohnWhile the pace is spotty and not every joke lands, “Good Boys” manages to be adorable and twisted at the same time. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawSome massive laughs, a huge Stephen Merchant cameo and the most impressive school play on film since Wes Anderson’s Rushmore are all on offer in this very funny teen – or rather tween – comedy. |
| Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshStupnitsky and Eisenberg have deftly mined this space for laughs, and the seasoned comedy vets (“The Office,” “Year One,” “Bad Teacher”) deliver a joke-dense and highly original coming-of-age tale that’s sweet and sour in all the best ways. |
| ScreenCrushMatt SingerWhat a pleasant surprise that the movie is far funnier and more perceptive about this brutal, hilarious time in a child’s life than I anticipated. |
| The Associated PressJake CoyleGood Boys mines that gulf between childhood and adolescence like few films have before. |
| New York PostSara StewartThis is a raunch-com that goes for — and gets — stunned laughs. |
