I enjoyed The boys are back. That is mostly for one reason. Clive Owen does a great job and he is actually funny at some points. Owen's performance is this movie. Clive Owen is a fantastic actor(as we saw in 2004's Closer, a fantastic film which he got an Oscar nomination for) and here he isn't as good as he was in Closer, but he still does a great job.
Owen stars as Joe Warr, a father of two who has been married twice. And has two children from different families. When his wife Katie dies of cancer, he obviously becomes very lonely. So all he has left is his two sons. His son Harry, travels from England to come live with them. So Joe tries to bond with his sons.
Doesn't that sound exciting? Not really. The film is a little annoying but only for one reason. The film's main flaw. The kids in the film are very annoying. I know they are just kids but they are really annoying. The youngest son, Artie, whenever his mother dies, says"See, I told you mom was going to die". The other son, is supposed to take care of his younger brother when Joe goes away on a business trip. A bunch of drunken teenagers come to his house and practically destroy it. Then everyone blames Joe for the rest of the film.
I enjoyed the film. It has a big heart and it's funny and for a minute or two sad. I liked the film. The plot is nothing special though it's an entertaining film. To be perfectly honest Clive Owen is the main good thing about it. I think you should see it.
