Corruption of childhood innocence by lewd filmmakers with a long record of perverse and extremely offensive content. From our viewpoint, this is a new low—appalling and sad, not humorous.
Here’s what the distributor says about their film: “Three grade boys ditch school and embark on an epic journey while carrying accidentally stolen drugs, being hunted by teenage girls, and trying to make their way home in time for a long-awaited kissing party.
Just how bad can one day get? The minds behind ‘Superbad,’ ‘Pineapple Express’ and ‘Sausage Party’ take on sixth grade hard in the outrageous comedy, ‘Good Boys.’
After being invited to his first kissing party, 12-year-old Max (Room’s Jacob Tremblay) is panicking because he doesn’t know how to kiss. Eager for some pointers, Max and his best friends Thor and Lucas (Keith L. Williams, ‘The Last Man On Earth’) decide to use Max’s dad’s drone—which Max is forbidden to touch—to spy (they think) on a teenage couple making out next door.
But when things go ridiculously wrong, the drone is destroyed. Desperate to replace it before Max’s dad (Will Forte—‘The Last Man on Earth’) gets home, the boys skip school and set off on an odyssey…involving some accidentally stolen drugs, frat-house paintball, and running from both the cops and terrifying teenage girls.
From producers Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, the writers of ‘Superbad,’ ‘Pineapple Express’ and ‘Sausage Party,’ and James Weaver (‘Neighbors’), ‘Good Boys’ is written by Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (‘Bad Teacher,’ ‘Year One’). Eisenberg also produces and Stupnitsky directs.”

Learn about DISCERNMENT—wisdom in making personal entertainment decisions
Every time you buy a movie ticket or rent a video you are in effect casting a vote telling Hollywood, “I’ll pay for that. That’s what I want.” What enables Hollywood atheists and leftists to continually attack the Bible in movies and present immoral and even abhorent programming? Money. Christian, don’t be part of the problem. Read our article
