Review of Boy

Boy (I) (2010)
7/10
Cute little comedy with a lot of heart.

I want to like Waititi's movies more. I like them a good bit, but I just can't help but find myself somewhat bored sometimes.

This movie is pretty cute, funny, and sad. It's lighthearted apart from a couple scenes which end short of any real dramatic tension. And that's not a bad thing. The movie shouldn't be bogged down. It's supposed to be a cute comedy movie, not a tear-jerker.

The performances are all great, especially considering it's mostly kids. Waititi himself is fun to watch, and possesses many of the elements that would make a fantastic father, and also many of the elements that make a terrible one.

It's it hilarious? No, but it'll make you smile. Is it depressing? No, but it might just bring a tear to your eye. That's how I feel about this movie I guess. Definitely we'll-made and worth the watch if you're considering it.
