Review of Boy Toy

Boy Toy (2011)
463rd Review: Charming but uneven - not bad though
30 October 2011
This reminded me a lot of the 2007 Loveless in LA, and even the vastly underrated Dirty Love - all three are comedies about singledom and Los Angeles that are all uneven and even bad in places, yet their overall effect is charming, funny, and positive.

Boy Toy is a pretty conventional romantic comedy with some obligatory plot twists, that doesn't look like it cost $3.5 mil to make. It wins because of a good script and the excellent chemistry of the cast. There are two of Chris Farley's brothers and a mix bag of recognizable regulars from latter American Pies etc; It's shot in a pretty mixed format of shots, but is well thought through.

All in all, I was expecting some R-rated romp and this is much better than that - the three central friends are fun and funny, and even though some of the support are acting light in places all in all if you just want a light comedy with a bunch of girlfriends you could do much much worse....
