The first thing anyone would comment on after the movie would be the sweet melodic voices the children in the movie portrayed. Yes, its a show about a boy choir so it definitely has to have some standard of singing. However, even with expectations set high, the angelic voices will still blow people away. Of course a movie can't be judged based on just that but the great singing did make the movie significantly more enjoyable(and I'm certain same for non music fans).
Story wise, its everything you expect. Predictable from start to end. The first thing you see of him in the show is rebutting a teacher. From then you know he is those 'bad boy', sad background... Everything you think will happen will happen. I did hope for some twist to spice up the movie but unfortunately it was kept simple and straightforward. Nonetheless, I'm not too upset about that as I never expected much goodness to come from the storyline of a movie as such. After all, I watched whiplash recently and couldn't help remembering scenes of it while watching boy choir. I don't expect all movies to possess such great story lines as whiplash so I'm fine with what boy choir has to offer.
Moreover, the acting by Dustin Hoffman and the lead Boy was pretty good too, making the movie a tad more pleasant. Hence, if you're gonna watch this show, prepare for an enjoyable time. My main concern before watching this movie was that it would be plain boring. But I guess as long as you get your expectations right, you'll pretty much enjoy this show.
