Just finished watching the movie, “Boyhood” via Itunes Movie rental and it was a pretty long movie.
Hate to say this but the movie was just okay. It wasn’t really anything all that special so I never really understood all the praise??? This isn’t the first “coming of age” movie as I’m sure there are many others out there that are a lot better. I thought “Boyhood” was kind of overrated and there are plenty of drama films that are kind of similar. Richard Linklater is a talented film maker but this film was pretty disappointing and I expected something better.

I was impressed with Patricia Arquette’s role though… she did the best acting job in the whole cast and I think she’s gonna get an Oscar for that performance. That was the only thing I liked about the film.
With that being said, I thought the film was slightly boring. I hope it doesn’t get BEST PICTURE at the Oscars and it’s probably gonna anyway. As I was watching the movie “Boyhood”, I felt like watching Parenthood on NBC.

I still say Christopher Nolan’s “Interstellar” was my favorite film of 2014. “Boyhood” was alright, it’s just something I wouldn’t watch over and over again, ya know?

I would give “Boyhood” a score of 2 out of 5 as in “okay”. It wasn’t anything all that great.
