This movie is one of New zealands best movies.It is a comedy about a boy who's father is an escapee from prison and is very excited to meet him, only to find out he's a really bad man. One of the very first movies to be directed by Taika Waititi.

With an inspiring mix of heartache and laconic humour, Boy is the coming of age tale about heroes, magic and Michael Jackson.

A box office smash in NZ Taika Waititi's film takes place on the rural East Coast where Boy and his younger brother Rocky are dreaming big, afterall it is 1984 and the decade of excess.

Alamein is their Dad and both kids have a vision of him which is somewhat removed from the reality of the situation.

'Boy', the movie, manages to turn moments of wonder to heartache, and back again, delivering some surprisingly hard hitting scenes.

It's a movie you need to see and will want to see again and again.

Brilliant New Zealand coming fo age film. I really like how director Taika Waititi acts in the film himself as Alamein, which really only happens in New Zealand. It has the right mix of comedy and seriousness, and there are some tension filled moments. The comedy is just right as well, as it doesn't just appeal to one age group of race, it works for everyone.
