Good Boys

Three preteen friends in the suburbs stumble into a misadventure when they try to repair a drone they accidentally destroyed. Max, Lucas, and Thor are about to enter a new phase of life, juggling crushes, school work, and the pull of online life that makes rules feel distant. A simple plan to salvage what they broke spirals into a frenetic quest with duct tape, a flashlight, and a patchwork toolkit of borrowed gadgets. They slip between schoolyard dares and adult territory, dodging worried neighbors and the threat of getting busted by parents who know every move. The race to fix the drone before the Moms and Dads return becomes a test of loyalty, courage, and the messy process of growing up.

Directed by Gene Stupnitsky and released in 2019, Good Boys is built from an original screenplay by Stupnitsky and Lee Eisenberg. Jacob Tremblay, Keith L Williams and Brady Noon play Max, Lucas and Thor, delivering sharp physical comedy and a surprisingly warm emotional core.

Worldwide box office reached 111,037,232 dollars on a 20 million dollar budget, marking a strong return for a raunchy teen comedy built around three young leads. Tremblay, Williams and Noon bring rapid timing, expressive faces and bold energy to every misstep.

Critics generally welcomed the film for its brisk pace and the trio's fearless banter, while noting the humor lands best when it feels earned through friendship. The movie treats growing pains seriously, pairing outrageous misunderstandings with moments that reveal loyalty and resilience, not just shock value.

Good Boys sparked conversations about balancing kid friendly premises with adult humor in mainstream comedies. Viewers praised the performances and the film's willingness to push boundaries without losing heart. Its blend of crude humor and genuine camaraderie left a mark on how studios picture relatable kid ensembles and the risks they take.
