Review of Daddy's Boys (1988) by Andrew R — 01 Apr 2017

I'm sorry but anyone who has ever seen this film will agree that it's not easily forgotten. A guilty pleasure. It's amazing that an actor of Raymond J Barry's caliber would agree to star in this.

But whenever I see him I don't think of his roles in Born on the Fourth of July, Dead Man Walking, Training Day or Walk Hard, I think of Daddy's Boys. The film is so corny, chock full of cornball lines, amateurish performances and is a total rip off of Bonne and Clyde, with a dash of soft core porn thrown in.

The main character Jimmy falls in love with a prostitute and I believe the actress was actually a porn star. It's a wonder that this film hasn't achieved some sort of cult status over the years, but hey, it's never too late to start.
