Exoticalot People are voting emotionally.
Ensofter Overrated and overhyped
ShangLuda Admirable film.
yelofneb-63037 **could contain spoilers I wish that Stacy Cochran had made more movies with Winona Ryder because she got the best out of a brilliant actor who had been unfairly beleaguered by yellow press innuendo, despite a great start in her early career.Boys is a beautiful movie that transcends the petty moralism that has since taken over the U.S. movie industry and, perhaps, the whole of U.S. society, since that simpler time when it was made.Watching it for the first time again, since 9/11, it's like taking a very pleasant backwards time trip to a previous more tolerant age, when the idea that love is all we need still mattered. That time seems almost forgotten, now, and it almost seems like rebellion to insist on remembering that finding love, in whatever circumstances, is the best thing of all.As a matter of fact, that is still true, and this fact is a very good reason to watch this movie again, and again, and again. Be subversive and watch this and other love-positive movies from pre-9/11. Love does not need political definition.Politicians should think about, as most people do, that making love possible is the primary goal of any proper human society. This movie does that because anyone who has only been in love for a week or even for many more years can't watch this without smiling in approval as the credits roll up to reveal the details of one of the best soundtracks ever in a '90s movie.It's a great little movie with two great leading actors with excellent on-screen chemistry for their roles, and great support, especially from the younger cast members.It ages well, and it's unfortunately too unique, because I really wish that there were more Stacy Cochran/Winona Ryder movies.
cindy_saja I don't care about people's bad critics for this movie. I've watched this movie over and over and never being bored, and still fell in love with the two main characters and of course the movie soundtrack are cool. This movie made Haas seems like a real man, so mean.. and Winona is the only girl who fit in with Lukas Haas. Perfect couple.This is really really one of the most great movie ever that Winona Ryder and Lukas Haas done. Can't stop doing daydream, imagine the romance will happen off screen between the actors. love it so much. Wanting to see them both back together in the future film, surely as couples again.I love every scenes that shows Ryder and Haas together, especially when they were in merry- go-round when Haas asked Ryder to marry him. Whether is true or false, their eyes on eyes scene were so electric. They enjoyed the fair one night and having a sweet moment scene. Though the ending of their relationship is mysterious, but I still can have a chance to think that the ending is happy.. People can imagine the ending would be as their runaway together hand in hand. Driving the school car with another kids from the boarding school. Tall Haas and petite Ryder was the best gesture overall.
pyamada This films attempts to be three things: a mystery (wherein it wastes actor Skeet Ulrich), a "first love" story, and a portrait of boys at a boarding school. Since a few of the young actors are decent, the movie almost succeeds at the portrait. But if fails at the other to stories. Ryder sleep walks through an enigmatic and poorly conceived role, and there really is not very much tension or mystery. This could have been a noirish hoot, but it ends up being uncooked scrambled eggs.
Joyce Hauchart I watched this movie late at night and thought it was very funny. The schoolboy characters are sharp as well as their dialogues.The music is great fun, and the photography is great. The story line may be a little thin, but this does not matter. Listen to the music, the hide and seek in the first hour is almost theater and the kids are great.But, I did not like the ending. Too romantic and incredible but nice movie to watch when there's nothing else on TV.In Belgium this movie got two stars, I think it deserves 3 stars, only for the great dialogues.
