‘Good Boys’ puts an outrageous twist on coming-of-age party classics

By Zach Goins August 9, 2019 From the very first red band teaser for Good Boys, it was perfectly clear the film would be an outrageous, profanity-laden adventure filled with slapstick humor and plenty of dirty jokes. But the thing that makes the non-stop punchlines...
