December Boys
Really enjoyed this does get a little slow in parts. Daniel Ratcliffe as always gives a great performance. I did find this quite funny at times.
December Boys
Russell EdwardsDestined to be forever known as Harry Potter Gets Laid, the visually well-mounted but narratively muddled December Boys, featuring Daniel Radcliffe, is an occasionally touching but rarely convincing coming-of-ager. Starting out like kiddie fare, the film sees its identity altered by awkwardly grafted sexual elements that seem to promise a more mature, continental tone.

well acted, enjoyable film
The December Boys is a well acted film about four orphansin Australia, the eldest of which is played by Daniel Radcliffe, I couldn't help thinking it reminded me of 'Stand by Me' as four young boys grow up together, theres a twist at the end of the film, and all in all I found this to be a thought provoking, enjoyable film.
