Just how bad can one day get? The creative minds behind Superbad, Pineapple Express and Sausage Party take on sixth grade hard in the outrageous comedy Good Boys.
After being invited to his first kissing party, 12-year-old Max (Room’s JACOB TREMBLAY) is panicking because he doesn’t know how to kiss. Eager for some pointers, Max and his best friends, Thor (BRADY NOON, HBO’s Boardwalk Empire) and Lucas (KEITH L. WILLIAMS, TV’s The Last Man on Earth), decide to use a drone belonging to Max’s dad (WILL FORTE, The Last Man on Earth)—which Max is forbidden to touch—to spy (they think) on a teenage couple making out next door.
But when things go ridiculously wrong, the drone is destroyed. Desperate to replace it before Max’s dad gets home, the boys skip school and set off on an odyssey of epically bad decisions involving some accidentally stolen drugs, frat-house paintball and running from both the cops and terrifying teenage girls Hannah and Lily (Life of the Party’s MOLLY GORDON and Ocean’s Eight’s MIDORI FRANCIS).
From Point Grey producers SETH ROGEN and EVAN GOLDBERG, the writers of Superbad, Pineapple Express and Sausage Party, and JAMES WEAVER (Neighbors, Blockers), Good Boys, from Universal Pictures and Good Universe, is written by the team of LEE EISENBERG & GENE STUPNITSKY (NBC’s The Office, Bad Teacher). Eisenberg also produces and Stupnitsky directs.
The stellar supporting cast includes RETTA (TV’s Good Girls) and LIL REL HOWERY (Get Out) as Lucas’ mom and dad, MARIESSA PORTELANCE (TV’s Arrow) as Max’s mom, MICHAELA WATKINS (Hulu’s Casual) as the drone saleswoman at the mall, MATT ELLIS (Welcome to Marwen) as drama teacher Mr. K, SAM RICHARDSON (HBO’s Veep) as Officer Sacks and STEPHEN MERCHANT (TV’s The Office) as the rare-gaming-card buyer turned sex-doll purchaser.
The talented behind-the-scenes team is led by director of photography JONATHAN FURMANSKI (Inside Amy Schumer, The Detour), production designer JEREMY STANBRIDGE (Into the Forest, TV’s Colony), editor DANIEL GABBE
