#TRAILERCHEST: A hilarious-looking and filthy new comedy from the creators of Superbad

Paul Moore

Good Boys

If you love Superbad, you’ll love this.

There are so many moments in Superbad that make you fall in love with it. For example, who didn’t laugh when Seth’s Ghostbusters lunch box revealed all those dick drawings? What about McLovin’ and the vest that made him look like Aladdin?

There are plenty of wonderful one-liners and gags to remember – “I gotta catch a glimpse of these warlocks” will always be a personal favourite for this author – and 12 years on, it appears there’s a new contender to the filthy throne.

On that note, it should come as no surprise that the creators of Superbad, Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen, are both involved with Good Boys.

After seeing the filthy trailer, you’ll know exactly what we’re talking about.

Plot’s it all about?: 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 (Brady Noon, Boardwalk Empire) 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 on the teenage couplet next door.

However, 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 of epically bad decisions involving some accidentally stolen drugs, anal beads, frat-house paintball, and running away from both the cops and terrifying teenage girls.

Cast: Jacob Tremblay, Keith L. Williams, Brady Noon, Molly Gordon, Lil Rel Howery, Will Forte.

Director: Gene Stupnitsky.

Irish release date: 16 August 2019.

Enjoy!
