Description

Inspired by Taika Waititi’s Oscar®-nominated short Two Cars, One Night, Boy is a heartfelt and hilarious coming of age tale about heroes, magic and Michael Jackson. It’s 1984 and Michael Jackson’s Thriller is changing lives on the rural East Coast of New Zealand.

Boy is a dreamer who loves Michael Jackson and dreams of some day meeting him. Rocky is his younger brother who has imaginary magic powers. Alamein is the president of The Crazy Horses. Members: 3. Alamein is Boy and Rocky’s dad. Boy imagines him as a deep sea diver, rugby legend, war hero and close relation of Michael Jackson. In reality, Alamein is an inept, wannabe gangster who has been in jail for robbery.

What if the hero you’ve been waiting for is an egg?

5 stars "Amazing example of outstanding Kiwi film making"

A lovely story of a boy and his dreams set to some great ‘80’s music. I both laughed and cried during this delightful Kiwi movie. I thought we could not be outdone by "Whale Rider " but enjoyed this even more. It will undoubtably end up a loved Kiwi classic.

5 stars "Best movie ever!"

Best movie i have seen in a long time!
A great movie that you can watch over and over again and still get the laughs from it each time.
When there mother passes away and there dad runs away its up to grandma to look after both Boy who is obsessed with the famous Micheal Jackson and his little brother Rocky who thinks he has magical powers but when dad comes home it all changes :)
