The Whoopee Boys

About This Movie

The Whoopee Boys is a rather quirky venture into the comedic side of romance, set against the backdrop of Palm Beach high society. Directed by John Byrum, it features two remarkably dim-witted characters who stumble through a plot to save a school for needy kids—always with a laugh, though sometimes cringeworthy. The pacing can feel uneven, with some gags landing while others kind of fizzle. The performances lean heavily into slapstick, which might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but there's a charm in their ridiculousness. Practical effects add to the humor, capturing that 80s vibe. It's a film that reflects the era's penchant for outlandish schemes and mismatched friendships, all wrapped in a light-hearted tone. Definitely distinct in its approach.
