boy is pretty funny but not that funny who's seen friday ...

hahaha realy funny gee heyy shardinaye

haha this movie is funny;
cracks me up everytime I watch it :L

Hey I am a British visitor to New Zealand and I bought this DVD in Devonport supermarket. In the UK I live in Devonport so had to.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED this movie. It is genius, touching funny, beautiful. i was just snotted up crying by the end. Us Brits crammed like sardines in our land would love to live in a place like that. The children were adorable and so was the acceptance of eccentricities. Maoris Rock!

Venus - The last thing I would want is for this film to be taken to the world stage. People already think Māori are women beating, alcoholic criminals, you only have to look at New Zealand film history to see that. What exactly is different about 'Boy'? Does it have alcohol? check, Does it have crime? check? Does it have violence? check, does it have drugs? check? Where is tikanga Māori? Where the heck is our reo??

love boy the best movie ever

hahaaa watt a krakk upp

woo this movie looks great id rather watch this than go to school crazy horses pfffft
Kia Ora Te Whare, my first reaction was similar to your comments.
Taking a longer and slower look, I found the meaning in "a painful comedy of growing up".
What astounds me more, is that from all our painful growings, a film such as this can take Maori to the rest of the world. And also bring the rest of the world to Maori.
Its a win win dont you think ? Eventually it is.

Is this all Māori are reduced to in the eyes of the world? Drunken, weed smoking bums? A few laughs? Look closely whānau, this film continues the negative portrayal of Māori in film. When are we going to see beauty of our pūrākau, we have stories upon stories which encompass all that Māori are. We are more than what Taika has shown the world.

This has just come out in NZ cinemas (march 2010) and will be released in other countries soon - not sure when exactly, but check out boythemovie.co.nz for more info.
Maybe it'll be on iTunes to download soon too!

Crazy Horses Gang - Should be a TV Show, that is very very funny, hope you fullas look into it....Chur

Where can I download this, I am quite happy to pay, hook a brother up... Love Taika Waititi movies.....Shot Bro!

Awesome film and great lead character. Boy, which in my hometown is what every young fulla gets called, it is a film that deserves the amount of press and attention Whale Rider had!

fabulous film, loved it:) well done to the director/producer and the talanted actors. fantastic

This is the funniest movie I have ever seen. I absolutely loved it.
It soo reeminded me of my childhood,and of the fond memories of Michael that I'm sure all us kids of the "80"s share.Hilarious yet ever so touching, I laughed,cryed......every emotion was stirred.
Tumeke Taika. Brilliant work.
