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.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 19, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Sep 18, 2019

This might be my favorite studio comedy of the year.

| Aug 20, 2019

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

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 19, 2019

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...

| Original Score: B- | Aug 19, 2019

One joke can't sustain the entire movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 18, 2019

For all its wacky, gross-out, shock-ya humor, Good Boys has a lot of heart.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 16, 2019

The main strength of "Good Boys" is that its jokes, while derived from outrageous situations, work because the characters react in realistic ways.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 16, 2019

"Profanity and banality make for a joy-killing combination in this fourth-rate farce "Good Boys."

| Aug 16, 2019

There's an honest heart beneath the racy laughs. If only sixth-graders themselves could actually see it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 16, 2019

Not superbad - but not that good either.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 16, 2019

Here's a beautifully acted, non-lascivious film about sex, drugs and peer pressure. Repeat after me: every good boy deserves fanfare.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2019

Without being tedious or heavy-handed, "Good Boys" offers a glimpse of what good men are made of.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 16, 2019

Some might want to leave the theater and file a lawsuit. I stayed and laughed. It's funny because it's abominable.

| Aug 16, 2019

"Good Boys" is worth catching for those rare and wrenching points at which emotional honesty breaks through.

When the first words out of young Jacob Tremblay's mouth are "F-, yeah!" as he's about to ogle pictures on his laptop, you know what you're in for withGood Boys. The film has some funny set-pieces as it proceeds along a fairly predictable path

| Aug 16, 2019

Cannot overcome the unpleasantness of the cheap humor and the sinking feeling that the filmmaking experience itself merits a visit from Child Protective Services.

| Original Score: C | Aug 16, 2019

"Good Boys" is held together by its three lead performances, especially Tremblay, who helps guide the script over its sometimes wonky plotting.

| Original Score: B | Aug 15, 2019

Stupnitsky and Eisenberg understand the age and the specific torments that go along with it.
