this was a very funny movie that soon turned very poignant and touching..but still maintained the laughs. Great acting by a mostly unknown cast of native New Zealander Maori. Everyone in the theater was laughing together ...at points you could hear most ..going...AWWWWW... my Fiance cried in parts...as lots of the girls did..I felt a tear here and there..then the next second they are laughing. This is a movie to take a date too for sure...or your an Egg..you Egg..bunch of eggs..LOL...I cracked up everytime the boy called his little brother an egg...you got to see it to understand. ya egg.. Brillant movie..a must see if you a chance...5 stars http://www.boythemovie.co.nz/ read the synopsis here and explre the site a bit... then you will understand this link and site http://www.crazyhorses.co.nz/

I really enjoy living in New Zealand and have met some Maori...love the accents here. There is 2 familys of Maori living on each side of our house. Some very cool people...some of thier friends Ive seen have the full face tattoos like you see in the above Vid.. sweet as...
all the maori Ive met still speak Maori and only speak english when they have too..there is a TV Station that is only in maori..Ive watched it and would love to learn to speak Maori..I watch a show that is teaching Maori. And I like the Haka competions on the channel... new Zealand has to be seen to be believed..people stop by when they visit australia..they take weeks in OZ(AUS) then days here...they leave here wishing they had spent the weeks here..
