Plot

Bowl (Kenny Kwan) and Noodle (Steven Cheung) are two idle high school students who need to evade at least three menaces each day before they can get to school. There is nasty little neighbourhood bully Razor (Cheung Tat Ming) who chases them over every minor dispute, uniformed policeman David (Tats Lau) who lustily body-searches everyone he sees and small-time hood Ganker (Chan Wai Man) who is constantly on the lookout for new blood to replenish his ever shrinking gang. Pride and dignity seem so out of reach. If only they can find the guiding light to fame and fortune, then life will be rosy again. Some dreams do come true. Trying to stay ahead of Razor, Bowl and Noodle inadvertently join Ganker' s gang and end up at a gangster conference where the Boss (Ray Lui) gives them $300,000 to perform a Mission of Glory at 6am the next day.

To Bowl and Noodle, this is a fortune and a shortcut to fame, but a deadly mission awaits them. With ten hours to go, there is money to spend, families to visit, idols (special appearances by Twins) to meet and unspoken love to be voiced. Before daybreak, can Bowl and Noodle turn this potential nightmare into a self-fulfilling experience?

In a matter of fact, it all comes down to is not whether you like Boyz or not, but whether this movie is worth watching or worth nothing? Personally Neo actually somewhat liked the movie in a way that the movie didn’t seem boring, but perhaps what Neo liked the movie is because of the emotional impact that the movie sustains, the problems of that teenagers faces and resulting in an inspirational youth drama. While it is a parody, the movie does tries to give a message about the randomness of life, how one minute the world may be bad and the next may well be great. How nobodies can become great, though actions that was meant to be evil? Perhaps it is unfair that this movie deserve any praise, but anyhow Neo feels that at the very least this is surely not the crappest movie of the year by far and if you go in the movie thinking it is crap, perhaps that way you might get the most fun out of it. Or at least you could prove me wrong! (Neo 2004)

I rate it 7.5/10
