Boys Will Be Boys

There are films we remember from childhood as amazing experiences, only to find, upon revisiting them years later, that they've aged and simply don't work for us as adults. Gentlemen Boys is one of those rare exceptions where the cinematic experience repeats itself every time I watch the film again. I become a boy again, embarking on adventurous journeys, with plenty of free time and the ability to enjoy it despite occasional adult disapproval. Whenever the familiar movie melody plays and the voice invites me, "Don't just stand there, come on," I go and once again immerse myself in the world of my childhood memories. Overall impression: 90%. (14/06/2006)

A very relaxed and light-hearted show, but I was interested in the adults even more than the likable child heroes. First of all, Iva Janžurová and the amazing pedagogical trio of Petr Nárožný - Josef Somr - Václav Lohniský. Petr Hapka composed great music for the film, which probably stood out best in the first scene with Jiří Lábus. (25/05/2014)

An ageless children's classic with great actors in leading and supporting roles, and a legendary score by Petr Hapka. Hands down, the peak of Czech family comedies... (19/08/2012)
