Invited to his first kissing party, 12-year-old Max asks his best friends Lucas and Thor for some much-needed help on how to pucker up. When they hit a dead end, Max decides to use his father's drone to spy on the teenage girls next door. When the boys lose the drone, they skip school and hatch a plan to retrieve it before Max's dad can figure out what happened.

Good Boys is a 2019 American comedy film directed by Gene Stupnitsky, in his directorial debut, who co-wrote the script with Lee Eisenberg.  Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg serve as producers through their Point Grey Pictures banner.  The film had its world premiere at South by Southwest on March 11, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on August 16, 2019, by Universal Pictures. The film received generally positive reviews from critics.

Let me say right off that this will be very uncomfortable for many as you sit through young children talking about my items that adults would have difficulty discussing. I laughed many times throughout the film along with many others in the theater.

There is an attempt at being heartfelt that redeems the movie somewhat, but ultimately Good Boys just dove tails from a number of other films (e.g. "Risky Business", "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", and pretty much anything that stars Seth Rogan), and uses young actors as props to make the vulgarity so inappropriate that it presents as funny.

I did enjoy the movie, however it’s probably one you want to wait till it comes out on cable or red box etc…….
