Leave your thoughts about The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story.
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubThe result is an excellent film - entertaining and informative and sometimes stunning in its display of the personal demons shared by these two geniuses. |
| NYC Movie GuruAvi OfferA lively, engrossing, fascinating and well-edited documentary. It finds just the right balance between entertaining the audience and provoking them intellectually as well as emotionally. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunThe documentary covers 80 years of their lives, from a happy childhood right through to the present day, covering their personal and professional lives and offering a glimpse of their particular creative process. |
| Toronto StarGreg QuillThe story of the men who wrote them in the golden age of Walt Disney Studios' movie musicals, brothers Robert and Richard Sherman, is one of the most fascinating chronicles of creative partnership never told. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigA touching and illuminating documentary about the songwriting duo. |
| New York TimesLaura KernAn irresistible documentary about the inexhaustible sibling songwriting duo Richard and Robert Sherman. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasThe Boys is so heartfelt that it elicits a sense that complex creative relationships may ultimately elude explication, leaving Jeffrey Sherman to speculate that the friction between his father and his uncle was what brought their songs alive. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanBe warned: you will leave this wonderful biography tortured by the classic songs threaded throughout. |
| Village VoiceErnest HardyBoys is first-rate cinema archaeology. What pushes it beyond that is the brutal honesty with which the sibling rivalry between the elder Shermans is depicted; theirs is a palpable mixture of love and disdain that led to the men not socializing with each other for more than 40 years. |
| VarietyDennis HarveyEngaging documentary draws on plentiful archival footage and A-list interviewees, and should lure dedicated nostalgists. |
