{movie} the history boys (2006)

Nicholas Hytner, Richard Griffiths and Frances de la Tour reprise their Tony-winning roles in this engaging film version of Alan Bennett's play chronicling a rowdy group of boys on their way to higher education. On a quest to attend either Oxford or Cambridge, the teens grapple with the intricacies of university entrance exams and admissions, ultimately learning as much about the education system as they do about academics.

ireviewnetflix.com rating: ** A bit too intellectual for my taste or something, I don't know. I will say though that the boys are cute, especially Dominic Cooper, are hot and the homosexual elements were enjoyable and made the movie worth watching. For the most part, I was kind of bored throughout though.
