The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story

The film holds their Disney songs in such high esteem, and discusses them with such little context, that The Boys sometimes feels as though it is set in Disneyland, not the real world.

The 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.

A touching and illuminating documentary about the songwriting duo.

An excellent film -- entertaining and informative and sometimes stunning in its display of the personal demons shared by these two geniuses.

An absorbing study in creative tension.

An irresistible documentary about the inexhaustible sibling songwriting duo Richard and Robert Sherman.

With both Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman having passed away, The Boys: The Sherman Brothers' Story ensures that their legacy will never be forgotten.

This moving tale behind the scenes of one of Hollywood's least well-known "first" families is enriched by some of the most gloriously happy lyrics produced in the last decade of the studio system.

As the highlights roll by and you get to know these geniuses better, the film becomes surprisingly moving.

...an affable, sporadically intriguing (yet somewhat underwhelming) piece of work.
