Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

InformationRap This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

ilikeimdb If you haven't seen the stage version of Naked Boys Singing! (NBS), then what more can you do but see this film. The film's fun, campy, well-acted, well-sung and has lots of inspired choreography. However, compared to the live stage version, the film misfires conceptually, has truly cheesy "just graduated from film-school editing" and doesn't do justice to the essential intimacy of the material -- it neither delivers a good film nor a piece of theater-on-film. // Before writing this review, I watched the "making of" segment (titled "Nuts and Bolts") to find out how the producer/director could have gone astray with excellent material and a stage production that literally sells itself. Biggest problem: They tried to reimagine NBS as a film, making the same sad mistake foisted upon A Chorus Line -- both shows are perfect as-is and were designed to be seen in a theater from a center row in the Orchestra (and in the case of NBS, the second row): Why add all the superfluous cut-aways, back stories, reverse angles (again, an audience isn't supposed to see what the actors see), cutesy effects (slo-mo, sepia tones, dissolves, multiple-image shots, etc.)? This screams "I'm trying everything they taught me in film school." Moreover, introducing the numbers by showing the musical scores gives a documentary feel to what should be a live production. Why incorporate techniques from an dissonant genre? Hasn't anyone seen the excellent Sondheim recordings of his stage productions? They record the performance. Period. That said, there is the issue of how to record the actors...no body mics. But somehow, when I saw NBS in New York in that intimate little theater in the Village, no one needed a mic. So, I reject the rationale that they had to lip-sync everything to get the recording. No, they had to lip-sync in order to support all the cheesy/cutesy editing techniques! So much time and effort could have been saved had they simply filmed the show in a, er, straight-forward fashion. Simple, direct, intimate...that's what drives the NBS source material -- and the film introduces too much schlock and unnecessary distractions.

sobaok What surprised me the most about this filmed stage production was the splendid variety in the musical numbers. The dancing is professional. Each dance is well choreographed. The vocals are entertaining, and pleasant to listen to. All numbers are done with heart and humor. This was truly a unique experience. I'm surprised at the arrogant remarks posted in other IMDb reviews. I found Naked Boys Singing highly enjoyable and fresh. Just look at the expression on the audiences faces. These talented guys offer a good sock in the jaw to convention. Intelligence and humor are the threads that hold this production together. Cheers and applause to all involved.

paulweeks-1 I don't understand how a reviewer can complain that a show has show tunes. With a name like "Naked Boys Singing" did he expect a Western? I suppose it could be called "Naked Boys Singing and Dancing". For what it was, which is exactly what it purports to be, I thought it was terrific. Some of the songs and situations were quite moving to me, having experienced some of the situations myself. It was very touching to have a chorus of "I feel so alone" - the fact of the chorus indicates that perhaps we weren't as alone as we felt.I found the Perky Little Porn Star to be adorable. I suppose I did object the tiniest bit to the ode to "regular guys" who were not so totally buffed out from the gym sung by these totally buffed out guys, but they gave it their best shot. Dancer's bodies, what're you gonna do?All in all a lot of fun.

Gordon-11 This film is a taped showing of a musical which features naked men dancing and singing about men and gay related issues.Maybe it is because I did not even know about this show, I was pleasantly surprised by it. I was entertained throughout. I especially liked "Fight the Urge", "Jack's Song" and "Perky Little Porn Star" which featured very funny lyrics and hilarious performances. I think the lyrics are witty, and they certainly put effort in to make the lyrics rhyme. "Window To Window" is another good song as it captures yearning for intimacy very well. Others have criticised the miming, but I think it's OK, as they have not attempted to hide this fact.I think "Naked Boys Singing" deserves more praise, as I was entertained by such a good performance. Let's not forget that takes a lot of courage to perform on stage naked.
