![]() The Boys Are Back![]() The Boys Are Back SynopsisJoe Warr, in the wake of his wife’s tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood. With turbulent emotions swirling just below the surface, Joe Warr throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: “just says yes.” Raising two boys – a curious six year-old and a rebel teen from a previous marriage – in a household devoid of feminine influence and with an unabashed lack of rules, life becomes exuberant, instinctual, reckless and on the constant verge of disaster. United by unspoken love, conflicted by fierce feelings and in search of a road forward, the three multi-generational boys of the Warr household, father and sons alike, must each find their own way to grow up.
The TrailerThe ReviewBased on the memoirs by Simon Carr, this is one dad’s attempt to connect with his two boys from different marriages. The story is about emotional truth, the thoughtful screenplay made me sit back and appreciate life even more. “The Boys Are Back” has excellent supporting young actors, talented in their own rights, despite their young age. However despite the many life-learning moments, it can get a little over the top for me. People escape to the theaters wanting to be entertained, and in this case too much of drama doesn’t necessarily make great movies. The Good
