the choirboy be flat out one of my all time favorite movie . i have read the list of review here and and the positive one be more insightful than most of the negative review and which consist mainly of moronic and insulting and an outrage and . blah and blah and blah ( or more precisely wah and wah and wah ) . don not listen to them this be an excellent movie . mind you and it would not win any academy award and but the cast be a who who of hollywood superstar . but and of course and they weren not star when this movie be make they be really just break into the business and for the most part . heck and james wood alone be worth the price of admission . and do keep in mind that this movie be make 30 year ago the cinematography and over all feel be kind of dark and although there be some hilarious scene . and i do not apologize for any part of this movie of all police comedy it be by far the most real and in that i can imagine very easily a department exactly like the one depict . ( in fact and i miss the day when cop be real people and not a bunch of ex marine drill instructor akin to robocops ( no offense to the marine but you know what i mean and do not you . ) . choir practice and in the movie and be and of course and the weekly drinking fest where the boy ( and girl ) blow off steam . and typical of 70 movie and there be more than one story go on at the same time and a good deal of time be spend develop the array of character and all with story of their own . i like this movie and if you like dirty harry and think he be awesome for kick as and if you think this world have get way to pc for comfort and if you like to party and make no excuse for it then you will like this movie and too .
