"The Boys" is one of those fun, non-cerebral movies that wasn't made with Oscar in mind. It's pure entertainment. The formula is trite: local amateur hockey team made of not-very-good players (though they mean well) has a gambling-addicted owner/manager/coach who's about to lose the team to a thug unless they win the next game. You figure out the ending. As someone else mentioned, a few of the jokes fall flat but it's still an enjoyable movie. Even though the ending is obvious, there's still enough tension during the final game to make it suspenseful.<p>The US version of the DVD is awful. The picture is fine, and the original French language track is great for those of us who are originally from "up north" and speak French fluently. But the English dubbing is REALLY bad: there's no emotion (the voice actors actually sound bored) and the voices really don't fit the characters. Surprisingly, there are no subtitles. The only extra is a filmography of some of the actors, but with no pictures to accompany their names, you don't know who's who! <p>Get your hands on the original Canadian release (either a quick trip to Canada is in order or check out HMV.com) with the title "Les Boys" for a much better product. Although the terrible dubbed track is still present, there's also the wonderful option of the original French track with English subtitlesMUCH better! The extras also include trailers, a filmography with pictures, and a 20-minute promo piece (in French) on a Molson-sponsored tour of The Boys playing hockey in arenas throughout Quebec. *Viewer Reviews* This is a great flick if you can find the subtitled version. The dubbing is LIFELESS and horrible. I've seen "B" movies with Shannon Tweed that have better actors. However, if you're into the greatest game on earth, rent the VHS version with subtitles; it's worth it. Back To Top
