The first one was better
LeRoyMarko28 March 2001
Not one of the best sequel. The boys (local hockey players) are in Switzerland to play in a world hockey tournament. Yes, there is some good laughs but it's not so as genuine as in the first «Les Boys». Still, it was a huge box-office success in Québec. Great performance by Patrick Huard. See the first one and skip the sequel. I hear there's a third one coming. Hopefully it's going to be better, but I don't bet on it.

Entertaining with some good jokes
savageloki10 November 2014
Just to correct the review of LeRoyMarko, the movie takes place in Chamonix, Haute-Savoie (74). Savoie became french in 1860 but has never been part of Switzerland.

An average entertaining movie with good actors from Québec, if you're fluent in french and like hockey even just a little bit, you should enjoy this movie.

Some good jokes but you have to be good in french and to understand well people from Québec, same language but big differences with french from France.

I haven't seen any other "Les Boys" but after having watched this one I'd like to know more about them and the TV series.

The Boys are back
Chris-1312 December 1998
What a great comedy. A sequel better than the first. Two hours of humour, hockey, romance and fun. Forget all the holiday tentative of great smash, the Boys are in Quebec to rules the box-office.

The team is back without some elements, Roger (Michel Barrette) is out and Labine is dead. Martin Petit take the place of Labine in the role of Sylvain and he is funny. The head seductor, Bob, is the creator of the Quebecoise Toupie in some hot sequences with the wife of the french coach, Laurent. Stan is in love and Leopold too. Julien is the song leader and Ti-Guy the pain boy of the group.

Let's go the Boys

Better than the first !!!
thebigmovieguy20 April 2003
The Boys are back in town ! This time, the gang has gone to France where they'll compete against other countries in an international hockey tournament. The sequel was released shortly after the first movie an grossed much more money at the box office in Québec.

Stan, Bob, Ti-Guy, Jean-Charles, François and Fernand are back to break the ice in the highly entertaining sequel to the original Boys movie. This film is very different from the first. The jokes are much funnier as they make fun of french people. Stan (Rémy Girard) falls in love with a restaurant owner while Fernand (Paul Houde) is unhappy with the cheap hotel Ti-Guy (Patrick Huard) got them and Bob sleeps with the wife of another team's coach. Once again, the characters' private lives get mixed up with their hockey lives in this hilarious comedy.

Louis Saïa presents the second chapter in the Boys saga that continues with Les Boys 3. See this film if you are from Québec or if you speak french fluently. This movie rocks and is much better than it seems. See it ! I rate it a great big 10 just like the first one.

The Ultimate "Les Boys" movie!
johnnythewolf20 June 2005
The first "Les Boys" was a funny movie with great actors, but a bit predictable and kinda clichéd plot in the end. Overall, an okay movie, still better than the third one, but definitely not as good as "Les Boys II"!

Now, "Les Boys" reloads for a second installment and it's for the best! Following the death of one of their teammates, the Boys go in France for a hockey championship. But instead of success and fame, they'll find mostly... trouble. Honestly, this is the best movie of the trilogy. The interaction between the Boys and the french people are absolutely hilarious and the casting is at his best. Almost every character from the first movie are back plus a new recruit, Sylvain (Martin Petit), and some great french protagonists such as the hysteric coach of the french team, Laurent (Daniel Russo).

With a fun plot, excellent jokes and memorable on-liners, "Les Boys II" is a must-see. Congrulations, Mr. Saïa!

4.8/5 (A+)
