I was looking forward to this movie, knowing that it had an excellent ensemble cast (Mick Molloy, Glenn Robbins, Bob Franklin, Wayne Hope, Gary Eck) and I loved previous films from the likes of Molloy (Bad Eggs, Crackerjack). BoyTown is a fictional comedy about about five men who decide to re-launch their boy band, which enjoyed success in the late '80s.
This story had so much potential, twisting the boy band stereotypes as jokes on middle-aged life. However, the characters and back-stories were paper-thin, and although this is common in comedies so as not to detract from the humor, unfortunately BoyTown wasn't very funny anyway; sadly, far less sharp than most of the cast's other work. 5/10
