This film was a great story. A story about 4 orphans growing up and becoming a family. It definitely shows that Daniel Radcliffe isn't just that guy who plays Harry Potter; hopefully he can do some more acting after Harry Potter is over with. It felt like something was missing fr...( read more)
I usually like coming-of-age stories, and this one is OK too. This one focuses on four orphans who happen into a month-long holiday at the other end of Australia. Of course living at the sea-side with real people around is different than their lives at the orphanage.
December Boys should have been a touching and poignant coming of age film. Instead the script and directing are bland. The characters are much too underdeveloped. The film is boring. Kudos to cinematographer David Connell. Only his stunning shots of the Kangaroo Island kept...( read more)
This one still makes my heart ache, three days later. It is charming and disheartening and absolutely enveloping. I wish I could have adopted them all.
In the late 1960's, four close-knit orphans in Australia, called the December Boys because they were all born in the same month, leave their orphanage for a holiday by the sea. Having all but given up hope of ever being adopted, the friends are on a seaside holiday one summer whe...( read more)
December Boys is the story of four orphans in 1960s Australia, who are given the opportunity to spend the summer at a beach home, where they learn the lessons of life.
Overall, the movie was enjoyable and it was nice to see Daniel in something other than Harry Potter and not the...( read more)
This hopeless excuse for a story doesn?t pull on any heart strings. I think the problem is that I dont really give a flying fuck what happens to these little cunt ass motherfucking gay incest little boys, so in affect I dont really care who the people choose and any attempt for t...( read more)
Just lovely. A nice heartwarming movie to watch on a cool Saturday afternoon. This film showcases the fact that Daniel Radcliffe can act and is not limited to just a boy wizard.
There seem to be two movies going on here at the same time, and December Boys would have been better off going all the way with one of them. full review
The two halves of December Boys -- the pre-adolescent getting of wisdom and the adolescent getting of action -- never mesh. full review
he doesn't seem right without his scar, maybe they should have brought it into the movie of how his parents died, killed voldermort and now lives in an orphanage.
Dan did an amazing work as MAPS on December Boys.
I love all his movies, such as TAILOR OF PANAMA(he dosn't talk to much there but looks preaty) and on David Couperfield, that I saw it every night(my fave).
About his acting career, he got a lot to do to impress,
because he is so good and so gorgeous! Teresa did well, but not so good as the kid who did MISTY. IN my case,that was the fave of the audience. He was so cool and in all the scenes, made me cry, and laugh! THIS MOVIE..from me, got a 5/5 stars and more! YOU MUST SEE IT! And if you haven't, buy it on DVD, December 11,2007.
i will fuck him until he can't stand up he is so hot i masturbate thinking on him
i like the sound of the film. i don't think people should go and see it just because Daniel Radcliffe is in it, if they do that they could be disappointed by the film.
I wanted there to be a video clip for it on this thing but there wasn't so now I do not know if I want to see it.. BOOHOO! ^^ <3 >.< -_-' O.O *-* U.O
I can't wait for this movie to come out, anything with daniel radcliffe is something i have to watch. Unfortunately, i am going to have to wait until October 5th, which is when it will be release here in Texas. Oh will, at least i have something to look forward to.
This movie looks really good.
Anything with Dan in it is good. So, I hope this is the same.
I love Rupert Grint!
