Summary: It Is What It Is...
Review: Have you ever been in a situation where you want to do several things but you become so uncertain as to what to do you wind up doing nothing?

That is the problem with Boys. Is it going to be a crime drama? A teenage sex comedy? A coming of age film? A youth in revolt film?

Whoever made the film could not decide what it was supposed to be about, end result it does a little of everything, and a lot of nothing!

It is a classic jack-of-all-trades, master-of-none situation.

Give me Dead Poets Society any day of the week!

Summary: "Fairly riveting"
Review: I could'nt help but notice that some critics picked this movie apart. With the difference between them and the rest of us, obviously this couldn't be helped. I am a 30 year old man who went through the same emotions as a young lad of 17. It could be noticed that this movie was an attempt to get older audiences a bit of a slice of life at a younger age. Perhaps judgement won't be so easy to pass if they understood what it's like to be young and trapped at a institution that they have no real connection to. It is my feeling that this movie contained a neat narrative that perhaps the big critics missed.

Summary: A little boring...but otherwise ok
Review: Like I said before, a little bit boring but otherwise ok. This movie was hard to understand and I didn't get the plot at all. What I am looking for is the name of that one hot blonde dude that was a friend of John Baker's in this movie? Also, where can I find some pics of him? Anyone know, please e-mail me at [e-mail]. Thanks!!

Summary: A 17 year old coming of age story for 12 year olds
Review: One of the dumbest movies I have seen in a long time. The plot is beyond unbelievable, too inconsistant and hackneyed to allow any suspension of disbelief. The only reason I didn't give it one star is that Winona is still lovely to look at.

Rating:
Summary: Most underated movie of Winonna's career!
Review: She was so good in it. Haas kind of sucked(a little too dorkey_) but overall a very understated movie.

Beautiful scenery and solid supporting roles by Skeet Ulrich make this a must have for any Winonna fan.

Summary: Not the Movie for Everyone, but Loved by Some
Review: This movie has been panned by countless critics and dissed by even more amateurs all of whom have underappreciated its beautiful subtlety. I'll readily admit that the plot, which often seems to be nonexistant, is annoyingly vague, based on a short story that provides the basis for pretty much only the first ten minutes of the film. But it is an interesting starting point.

Much like she did in her previous (and more widely appreciated) film "My New Gun", director Stacy Cochran sets up the idea: What would happen if an outsider (the elusive, lovely, and slightly dangerous Patty, played by Winona Ryder) were to literally fall into the anxiety-ridden, closed world of a boys prep school. This recurring theme of the influence of an outsider plays out just as it did in "My New Gun," with the main character experiencing a liberating revelation through contact with a mysterious intruder. Imaginative schoolboy John, played by Lucas Haas, is inspired by Patty to leave his life of frustration at the school and defy his oppressive father. After some of the plot details work themselves out, this film ends suddenly. Both "Boys" and "My New Gun," though superficially such different stories, end on the same note of jubilant, romantic defiance.

"Boys" is not for everyone. This is a slow, meandering study of an improbable situation. Its plotlessness makes the actors performances all the more impressive. Ryder and Haas handle the difficult material with maturity and subtlety. A word of praise for excellent cinematography as well- the light and colors of autum permeate every scene with an unforgettable moodiness.
