Review of The History Boys (2006) by Matt C — 28 Feb 2015

Should have stayed on the stage you feel, just does not work as a movie. It's one of those films where you spend the entire time thinking 'nobody in the real world talks or acts like this'.

The weird attitude towards the dirty old pervert teacher of 'he's just a wacky old eccentric' feels like it belongs to a different era and possible Operation Yewtree. Whenever the film runs out of ideas as well it just seems to throw in a gay character or plot-line randomly which never works either.
