This Is the Disk-O-Boyz

I saw this film with my niece who's 10 and she loved it. I thought there were some interesting angles taken on the boy band phenomenon and what they had to deal with. The acting's solid, the boys acted like they were in a real band. The music wasn't that great though and that's where the low budgetness really showed through. It's a very sweet film and anyone who's into boy bands will appreciate it.

Boy Wonderz is a movie about growing up in a band and it's very funny. I love N Sync and now I love the diskoboyz. its fun to see that even super popular guys in boy bands have problems. It's a good date movie. My boyfriend's into hiphop and stuff but he liked it, too and thought it was very funny. The movie really makes you feel good. Even though it has some similarities what's on TV this was better.

First off, ALL of the boys (and most of the men) are obviously gay in real life, so there must have been some fun going on when they were making this. Unfortunately, it doesn't show in the finished product. Maybe the guys were too pre-occupied with having sex to think about acting, because there is none here. Oddly enough the one openly 'gay' member of the group in the movie is also the most unattractive. The director really should have made this a soft-core gay porn film, because it probably would have made more money that way. The music is dreadful as is the so-called 'singing'. The guy who does 'What a Wonderful World' should be castrated for butchering a good song. A waste of time for all.

The first half of Wonder Boyz plays like a Disney Channel movie and is as bubble gum sweet and hokey as you can get. Whereas the second half turns dramatically more serious. I much preferred the second half. Kenny's breakdown gave a glimmer of what a legit film on the whole boy-band phenomena could've been. Unfortunately such instances are few and far between. The music, except for the cover of "Lean On Me" is pretty bad (although, I am led to believe that this was intentional). In fact, "Lean On Me" is a damn good remake that I wish was available on CD. I mean, if O-Town can seriously put out a song called "Liquid Dreams", then I have to believe this remake could be a hit, no matter who actually sang it.

Wonder Boyz- Good idea, childish execution. Full of plot holes, but then I didn't expect anything Oscar caliber. Oh, and the boys...yea they're cute (Especially Kenny).

My grade: C+

When the movie started out I thought it was going to be another boy band spoof. It was at first. But then I realized they weren't so much making fun of them as they were saying how hard it was to be in a boy band. It was like they had written the script as a comedy but got bored and changed it to a drama. It also had a few long conversations that are hard to stay awake for. I just don't get the point to this movie because it lacks a strong plot.
