Les Boys

I don't understand why this film make it so big in Quebec. It's not so funny, there's only two or three good jokes (Luc Guérin when he says: Je dois pas être beau à voir!) but the rest is just too big, with no surprise. No subtlety. A big deception because the idea was good.

I think this is a very well-made and funny film. I especially enjoyed Fern, with his hockey trivia. It's interesting that Yvan Ponton appears in the two best hockey movies ever, this and Slap Shot. I do not agree with the person who said that because they don't have 75 million to spend, that Quebec can't make good movies. "15 Fevrier 1839" is an excellent film and proof that you don't have to spend 100 million to make a good picture. Another example would be "Octobre" I also can't wait to see "Comment Ma Mere...." Les Boys and Les Boys II get two thumbs up from me!

I happened into this movie one night on CBC. Within a few minutes I was laughing out loud. A strong comedy with a simple, plausable script that never treats itself as any more than it is; One great sports comedy.

I laughed from the beginning to the end. Probably better than th= e french version of Slapshot. It's a great comedy for the hockey fans. In Quebec, the hockey is a religion and it's not a surprise to see Les Boys became = the most popular movie at box-office in Canada. >

When other countries can invest $70 to 285 millions in a movie production, here, in Quebec, we still have difficultly reaching the $3 millions. Though, since the money is not given easily, we would appreciate, as a public, to see good movies... "Les boys" is a predictable story of a hockey team. I don't need to tell you more! It's a "Mighty Ducks" version for grown-ups. The style is not worked out, and the cast is just good enough to keep you from leaving the theater.

When are we, as a country, stand up and finally find our own style, unique and wonderful? A "Les boys" and the up-coming "Les boys 2" (it's a sequel!) really tell us that Quebec is not yet ready for this to happen...

A poor film: 1 tiny * on 10.
