Good Boys

After 12-year-old Max (Jacob Tremblay) and
his friends Thor (Brady Noon) and Lucas
(Keith L. Williams) accidentally destroy Max’s
father’s drone, the three boys embark on a
school-skipping adventure in a desperate
attempt to replace the drone before Max’s
father returns home.

FIVE FACTS:



  1. This film marks the directorial debut of
    Gene Stupnitsky, who also co-wrote the script.

  2. The movie’s producers, however, include
    the prolific Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg
    due to the involvement of their independent
    film company Point Grey Pictures.

  3. Although he co-directed the film with
    Stupnisky, Lee Eisenberg is not credited to
    this effect, despite being credited as co-
    writing it.

  4. The movie’s world premiere took place at
    South by Southwest on March 11, 2019.

  5. On Rotten Tomatoes, the critics’ consensus
    remarks: “Good Boys is undermined by an
    eagerness to repeatedly indulge in profane
    humor, but its appealing cast and ultimately
    thoughtful message often shine through.”
