Raunchy bit hilarious.
Funny but the film would have been better with different casting. Tremblay was good but the two other kids on screen ruined the film. The bad language was overdone and should have been used as a comic element to get laughs but when done over and over again it wasen't funny any more than telling the same joke over and over. Thematic elements could have been better and more comical. Still, I had to give the film 4 stars as it was something new and reminded me of the comic years of being 7th grade divided between living in a world of adults as a little angel and being pretty bad when just with my friends. This film is screaming for a sequel- hopefully with Tremblay without his second rates.
The movie was a comedy more than a back to memory lane. R rated, due to the cursing. I believe it would have been a pg-13 if cursing was toned back some. I felt too old for the movie but kids of the same age as the actors would feel too young for this movie due to the adult content presented. That being said had several outbursts of laughter and one "Oh s*&t" by some of the parenting language.
So, I would not recommend it...especially don't bring your children. If any of the makers and producers are having problems with kids who are wise ass loudmouths I think I could give them some parenting ideas as in watch your movie.
funniest movie this year
Worst movie I have seen in a long time. Don’t waste your time or money... unless you enjoy boys using the F word non stop and god dammit! Stupid movie ...
I see this movie is #2 and sadly or gladly it could have made $millions more if it were not for somebody thinking we would all be ecstatic to see pre teen boys with foul mouths. Somebody in production should be reprimanded because they lost a lot of money for whatever their point was.Some people will cringe at parts of this movie.Not cool.
Had some potential but could not handle the language from such young kids. May be alright from hard core uneducated labours but to allow you kid in the was discussing. The tremblay's in particular must not have read the script or willing to do anything with their kids to be accepted in Holywood
I have to admit, I am a South Park fan, even at my age ( 69 ). I get the humour. This movie had some funny moments, but I think they were a little slow in coming. Also, I found the parts that were suppose to be touching, a little weird, because I didn't think any kid who could swear like a sailor could also be sensitive. This is not " Gone With The Wind ", but if you are 14 years old or like me, still feel 14 years old, you might like this movie, but don't take your Grandmother. I wish the kids had a little more interaction with the adults, because when they did, it was funny. It is hard for 3 young boys to carry a whole movie, but If you leave your brains at the door and just go to have a crude laugh, then I guess this is the movie for you.
I am so outdated as I foolishly thought there were some standards or rules that would preclude young children from cursing on the movie set for public filming. Keep your kids home if you don't want them being cool and cute throwing the f... bombs to act "adult."
