Boys Don't Cry (2000)

I'm a great fan of polish cinematography, although I have to watch all these movies subtitled. However, I was told that "Chlopaki nie placza" is the worst movie ever. I've seen it, and I have to say: One of the most hilarious movies ever made! I can promise you will find this film amusing, when you'll see 'Laska' coming home, reminiscing his dad or 'Grucha' wearing his pink sweater and falling in love with the prostitute. Many people may have a lot of criticisms about this film; that it shows a very silly story or that it is a copy of Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction". Well maybe it is. But it definitely works for this film. MUST BE SEEN!!!

I read other viewers' comments in hopes of learning a little more about what I had seen when I ran this film on my DVD player. It helped a little, but my own lack of any knowledge of the Polish language is a nearly insuperable barrier. I think some of those viewers have more knowledge of Polish and maybe a little less of English. This would apply as well to the writers of the captions, which are often rather unidiomatic. I say this in great respect, always admiring Europeans who have such skill with English. Anyway I found the movie confusing, jumping from one situation to another rather abruptly.Two very innocent young men hire prostitutes, are unable to pay the fee, and get mixed up with a group of thugs. Everything follows from there, including even some Keystone cops types and a mad car chase. Those classic movie elements are universally understood but are not quite enough to have made this a good evening's entertainment for me and my friends.

One of the best comedies. It shows very interesting people: gangsters, but from an other side, they are shown from the man within them. The story is simple, but good enough to hold the characters, which are one of the most interesting ones, I've ever saw.The dark pictures, the music, everything makes this movie to be satiric and funny together. The story follows the main character, who is stupid enough to get with "gangsters", he has nothing to do with them, expect that they have something with him. Everybody like to save/kill him, but these people have bigger problems with themself.

What a horrible, horrible piece of trash. Could somebody please explain to me WTF is going on with the polish cinema? This film is just another example of wasted celluloid. I simply cannot understand why anybody would give this movie a positive review or rating because it fails miserably in every aspect. The acting is horrible. The script is horrible. The direction and editing are laughable.
