Good Boys

Overall the movie delivers on its premise.

The jokes come thick and fast and they're on point, a mix of sharp, squirm and brash vibes, but it's perfectly balanced.

Some of this is fun and inventive, some of it repetitive and feeble, especially the heavy emphasis on the naivety of the protagonists and the hopelessness of their attempts at cool.

This might be my favorite studio comedy of the year.

A squalid mess that makes ill use of some talented young performers. It's not offensive; it's just baffling.

Mostly, the story is just scant scaffolding on which to hang cheerfully crass jokes about Stranger Things, anal beads, and cocaine. But it's a winning showcase...

Thanks to the consistent raunchiness, the coming-of-age components are intermittently unrecognizable.

For a movie that features a sex doll and a 12 year old wearing a gimp mask, Good Boys has a lot of heart. It just might have the most heart of any movie that features a sex doll and a twelve year old wearing a gimp mask.

Good Boys takes chances that you don't see too often on film, which ultimately makes it a really good time.

In all its r-rated glory, there is simple pureness of innocence hidden in plain sight.
