Rating: - Subtitles are better
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.

"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.

On the second weekend of November 1997, three major movies where released in Montreal. First was MGM's "Tomorrow Never Dies" with a budget of close to $100 million US. It was expected to be a hit like the previous James Bond "Goldeneye". The other one, was going to be the biggest blockbuster of all time, yet nobody new it at the time. It was James Cameron's "Titanic", at $200 million US, the biggest budget for a movie at the time. The third one, was a $3.5 million (in Canadian fund) comedy.
Legend says that one of the producers of "Titanic", looking at the first weekends box office results said "what the f*?%"* is Les Boys". The small French "Québécois" comedy was number one in Quebec, Canada. The week after, "Titanic" ruled, but "Les Boys" became the biggest Quebec box office maker ever, with only "Titanic" on top of it.
It is most certainly not for the movies quality that this ... Read More
