Movie Reviews of December Boys
Movie Review: Wonderful little gem
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this mainly because I was curious how Daniel Radcliffe's acting fares in a non-Harry Potter movie. For his fans, be assured that Radcliffe acquitted himself very well: his performance was appropriately calibrated to the character, subtle and effective. But I grew to love "December Boys" as I watched. It is a wonderful respite from the special-effects laden products churned out by Hollywood today. The story is interesting: how 4 orphan boys spent a "summer" in the 1960s by the sea, far from the desolate dry outback of their orphanage; the characters they met; the boys' competition to be chosen for adoption by a young couple; triumphs and disappointments; a near drowning; and a life-changing decision. Everything was done well--the beautiful cove setting, the writing & directing, the acting, and musical score. The movie ends with a flash forward half-a-century to our present day, which is unexpected and very moving. This is one of those movies that stay with you. I love it.
Summary of December Boys
They share the same birth month, so the orphanage calls them December Boys. But these teens â?" Maps, Spit, Spark and Misty â?" have much more in common. With no hopes of ever joining a family, they form their own familial bonds. Then the unexpected news comes that a young couple may adopt one of them, and the long-time pals suddenly share something else: a rivalry to be the chosen one.Similar DVD Movies
