The History Boys

I'm sure, even as you read the title that you've never heard of this movie, and I think maybe it's best. I rented this movie looking forward to seeing a bunch of smart British Boys learning some cool things, although I barely remember the preview. Instead of "The History Boys" it was more like "The gay-tendancy Boys".

You've got a bunch of smart kids who are working on getting into some high-class Universities, a young brilliant teach whose trying to get the kids to think outside the box, and a Harry Potter reunion. That is to say we got Madame Maxime and Uncle Vernon an interesting gay old man who gives the boys rides home on his motor bike and gropes them.

It was a total let down for a film I was looking forward to see. The only thing I liked about was the kids constant quoting of different films, book, and poets. That and the ending because it was really the best part of the film.

I give 2 IceCream Scoops out of 5
Rated R for language and sexual content

I don't think it even deserves 2 scoops more like 1 scoop, and only for an interesting ending. The quote thing was kool, but lots of movies are capable of that.
