The Boys IV

About This Movie

The Boys IV brings a lighthearted, almost nostalgic vibe, reuniting the same group after four years away from the rink. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, with moments of genuine humor mixed with those that fall flat. The stakes are higher than ever, pitting these amateur players against legendary NHL figures, which adds an interesting twist to the comedy. This clash between the underdogs and the pros gives rise to some classic sports film themes—friendship, perseverance, and pushing limits. The performances lean into the absurdity, which might not be for everyone, but it’s enjoyable in its own quirky way. It’s distinct in its approach to hockey culture, with practical effects that bring some of the more comedic moments to life without trying too hard. You can almost feel the ice beneath your feet as they hit the rink again.
