The “Good Boys” Movie: A Comprehensive Review

The 2019 Movie, Good Boys happens to be one of the best coming-of-age films because it captures a lot of things teenagers do and needs to know concerning s3x and relationship. Like every raunchy comedy, it provides a good laugh and true life happenings.

This movie stars Jacob Tremblay, Keith L. Williams, and Brady Noon as three sixth-graders who find themselves in a series of misadventures as they try to attend a party hosted by their popular friends. 

The comedy movie is directed by Gene Stupnitsky, in his directorial debut, and written by Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg.

American hilarious actors, Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg produced the film through their Point Grey Pictures company. Anything that involves Seth Rogen has to be very funny.

Good boys’ age rating

The MPAA rated Good Boys R for strong crude s3xual content, drug and alcohol material, and language throughout – all involving tweens.

One of the first things to understand about this movie is that, despite the age of the cast and the story, this is not a film geared at (or appropriate for) young teenagers. The intent of this film, I think, is to appeal to an adult sense of nostalgia.

Why Is Good Boys ‘r’ Rated?

Good Boys is rated R by the Motion Picture Association (MPA) for strong crude s3xual content, drug and alcohol material, and language throughout – all involving tweens.

Parents need to know this before letting their children watch the movie. Parents need to know that Good Boys is a very raunchy comedy about sixth-graders hoping to attend a kissing party. 

Though it’s funny and eventually rather sweet, it’s not for kids. It involves extremely strong, constant language, with uses of derogatory language like f–k,” “s–t,” “a–hole,” and more, much of it spoken by the boys.

How old is rated R?

When a movie is rated R, it most likely has a lot of crazy scenes. 

This would mean that Persons under 17 must be accompanied throughout the entire feature by an adult 21 or over for any R-rated feature. ID is required. 

Is Good Boys Worth Watching?

Now most people want to know if a movie is worth it before they give it all their attention. Luckily some organizations review movies. 

For example, Rotten Tomatoes says “Worth a watch, but don’t expect much. Multiracial and shot through with conversations about “consent,” Good Boys doesn’t offend in the contemporary sense. But like every other mainstream studio comedy, it’s shot through with class blindness”

While common sense media states that “Exceedingly raunchy comedy has heart, but it’s not for kids”

Who is the main character in Good Boys?

Lucas, Max and Thor

Jacob Tremblay’s character, Max plays the lead role in the movie. 

Max is the main protagonist from Good Boys and the leader-like figure of the Bean Bag Boys. He is a sixth grader currently going through the first stages of puberty, often thinking about girls, rubbing against a tree, and fantasizing about Brixlee for most of the film.

But overall, he is a very kind and considerate friend and leader. He is also quite curious and oblivious to s3x. However, he is very aware of the troubles of drugs and drinking and plans never to take drugs.

The other boys are his friends. Lucas, played by Keith L. Williams is known to be the “Goody-Two-Shoes” of the gang, wanting to do good, even during harmless mischief. He is the backbone of the beanbag boys.

Thor is also one of the best friends, He is very brash, mischievous, and brave, but often gets into trouble normally to prove himself in situations. He is shown to be a very vulgar kid for his age, calling Brixlee a “Skank” and often mischievous, often due to his mom and his unseen dad’s s3xual hobbies.
