Old Boys

About This Movie

So, 'Old Boys' is kind of a quirky take on the classic Cyrano story, set in a school environment. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the awkwardness of adolescence to breathe. It’s not just about the romance but also the hilarity that ensues from the main character's ingenuity against the backdrop of typical school antics. The performances are interesting, particularly the contrast between the clever but socially inept protagonist and the dim-witted jock. The practical effects are minimal, but they work well within the story’s whimsical tone. It captures that essence of teenage life—crushes, misunderstandings, and the lengths one might go to for love. Really has a unique charm to it, honestly.

Quirky adaptation of Cyrano.Focus on teenage awkwardness.Interesting character dynamics.
