well acted, enjoyable film

Munchkin from from Cardiff, 25th February, 2008

The December Boys is a well acted film about four orphansin Australia, the eldest of which is played by Daniel Radcliffe, I couldn't help thinking it reminded me of 'Stand by Me' as four young boys grow up together, theres a twist at the end of the film, and all in all I found this to be a thought provoking, enjoyable film.

A Customer from Melton Mowbray, 14th March, 2008

Really enjoyed this does get a little slow in parts. Daniel Ratcliffe as always gives a great performance. I did find this quite funny at times.

Pointless yawn inducer

A Customer from 2nd row from the back, Lincolnshire, 27th August, 2008

Formulaic & therefore unconvincing. Nothing's dire, it's all just mediocre. Drags on.

December Boys

A Customer from Poole, Dorset, 6th November, 2009

A perfect movie for a cold, wet winter evening! The story of 4 orphan boys who are given the chance of a holiday with an older couple who have no children of their own. Over the summer the boys meet with the locals and try to outdo one another to see who will be adopted. Don't expect lots of action - just sit back and enjoy!

Nice calm movie

bumpkin from , 1st September, 2009

I know nice calm movie is a weird way to discribe any movie but that is what I got out of it. It was very nice story, it went at a slow pace, which some people would find boring but with this film I found it engaging. The cast is good and the little boy who plays misty is very good. Ending was a bit predictable but you can't have everything.
