Worst movie of the year

Usually I write reviews in two occasions: when I really like the movieor when I try to warn others about it. In this case is the secondoption. This is by far the worst movie I have seen this year. Totallypredictable, flat characters, stupid argument, bad acting, totallyunlikable characters, you don't care what happen to them. So, in fewwords, please don't waste 90 minutes watching this garbage. That's it.This film has nothing good to be talked about. Even you're looking foran easy laugh, you'll be disappointed. But if you're a 12-year oldand/or your mental age is around 12, maybe you'll find this movie funnyor at least you'll chuckle a couple of times. But if you are a grownadult, forget it.

463rd Review: Charming but uneven - not bad though

This reminded me a lot of the 2007 Loveless in LA, and even the vastlyunderrated Dirty Love - all three are comedies about singledom and LosAngeles that are all uneven and even bad in places, yet their overalleffect is charming, funny, and positive.Boy Toy is a pretty conventional romantic comedy with some obligatoryplot twists, that doesn't look like it cost $3.5 mil to make. It winsbecause of a good script and the excellent chemistry of the cast. Thereare two of Chris Farley's brothers and a mix bag of recognizableregulars from latter American Pies etc; It's shot in a pretty mixedformat of shots, but is well thought through.All in all, I was expecting some R-rated romp and this is much betterthan that - the three central friends are fun and funny, and eventhough some of the support are acting light in places all in all if youjust want a light comedy with a bunch of girlfriends you could do muchmuch worse....

I was sort of anti-climatic...

"Boy Toy" doesn't offer the viewer anything that haven't already beenseen in other movies. And it seems to have been borrowing a bit heavilyfrom some movies in particular.Never having heard of this movie prior to sitting down and watching it,I had no idea what it was about, much less who was in it. The storylineis pretty straight forward and easy to follow; an unsuccessful model istrying to make a living in Hollywood, and he ends up as a male escort.He lands a job with Barbra, whilst dating Norah, and of coursesomething goes awry here.The cast in "Boy Toy" was actually quite good. There were some fairlyfamiliar faces here and there, and people were doing good jobs withtheir characters and their roles. Just a shame that no one really cameoff a super memorable, aside from Kevin P. Farley (playing Robert),perhaps.For a comedy, "Boy Toy" failed miserably at making me laugh. I wasn'tlaughing once throughout the entire movie. Now, I am not saying that itis a bad movie, not at all, it just failed to strike my funny bone.Sure there were some awkward situations in the movie, but for somereason I wasn't laughing.There is a bunch of similar movies out there on the market, and "BoyToy" doesn't really distinguish itself from the other similar movies.Having seen it now, I doubt that I will ever be popping the movie onfor a second viewing. It just didn't have that much appeal in it.If you are in for an evening's worth of comedy, there are far betterchoices available. "Boy Toy" might be great for you if you are a diehard fan of anyone on the cast list, otherwise this is just a moviethat will be see and just as easily forgotten.
