From the first minute of Who’s a Good Boy, the story makes it apparent that we should feel bad for Chema – he’s a pushover, and everyone just makes him do crappy things. So when he is given the responsibility of taking care of the school’s new girl Claudia, things start to change in his life.

I don’t know what it is about movies which take place in high schools – maybe it’s the hormones or the fact that stupidity isn’t really my cup of tea, but the moment everyone starts to make sex their end-all, be-all, I start to lose interest.

Who’s a Good Boy is that movie – it’s just so mind-numbingly stupid that you forget that you’re watching a feature-length movie on a leading streaming platform like Netflix. It’s blatantly sexist and sees women as a means to lose your virginity or bring about some sexy change in your life. Either way, watching an (almost) adult masturbate every few minutes is just disturbing and unnecessary.

What I mean to say is that Who’s a Good Boy is crass. You won’t expect some amount of subtlety or something deeper from a silly young-adult movie, but there are limits to stupidity, and this movie crosses that limit and jumps over every boundary that you have created for yourself. On top of that, it shows the most predictable tricks in the book to make the movie spicy.

The poor women in the film exist for nothing but to make the men’s lives easier and to be sexual objects for them. Everyone is extremely vain, and the characters have no depth other than fulfilling these checkmarks for what the movie needs for them. Even the perpetual ‘good guy’ Chema is absolutely unbearable.

Who’s a Good Boy makes Chema so ‘good’ that he breaks into girls’ homes and spies on them having sex because that’s what good people do. It’s definitely not creepy or perverted in any way, and we all definitely need a guy like that in our lives.

Summing Up: Who’s a Good Boy

Who’s a Good Boy is a movie no one should be subjected to – it has no substance, and the ‘funny’ jokes don’t land. It’s annoying and uncomfortable and leaves a bitter taste in your mouth the moment you start watching.

Who’s a Good Boy is streaming on Netflix.
