What the Critics say | ||
| 24.com Ilan Preskovsky  It’s made with real skill and doesn’t allow its crude humour to overtake its fundamental sweetness, but, most importantly, it made me laugh all the way through it. And if that isn’t a sign of a good comedy, I don’t know what is. | 15 |  |
| RSG Leon van Nierop GOOD BOYS is meer kru as enigiets wat jy agterop ‘n toiletdeur sal aantref. Dit is ‘n moedswillige vulgêre, weerbarstige en onthutsende stuk stuitigheid, wat uit ‘n volwasse oogpunt grynslag oor 12-jarige kinders wat te gou grootword. | 10 |  |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer ood Boys is undermined by an eagerness to repeatedly indulge in profane humor, but its appealing cast and ultimately thoughtful message often shine through. | 16 | |
| CommonSenseMedia Jeffrey M. Anderson Exceedingly raunchy comedy has heart, but it’s not for kids. | 10 | |
| ScreenIt T. Durgin This is a funny, entertaining late-summer sleeper … for anyone BUT the 12-year-olds starring in this flick! | 13 | |
