The Flyboys | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Sean P. Means Film.com I like Disney-style adolescent adventures and I like The Sopranos, but, unlike peanut butter and chocolate, these are not two great tastes that taste great together. Rated: 2/4 Sep 26, 2008 Full Review The Flyboys | Rotten Tomatoes (2) Tim Cogshell Boxoffice Magazine One of the best action movies you and your kids could see this summer. At least look for it on video. Rated: 3/5 Aug 29, 2008 Full Review The Flyboys | Rotten Tomatoes (3) Andrew L. Urban Urban Cinefile Don't be fooled by the Kids in the title, this is one terrific action drama, with a few comedic grace notes Mar 21, 2009 Full Review The Flyboys | Rotten Tomatoes (4) Robert W. Butler Kansas City Star It's like two stories unfolding in parallel universes. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 3, 2008 Full Review The Flyboys | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Jeff Vice Deseret News (Salt Lake City) At times it's a rather light-hearted family adventure. But parts of it also become a mean-spirited crime thriller. That light-dark contrast doesn't quite work. Rated: 2/4 Sep 12, 2008 Full Review The Flyboys | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Bruce Bennett Spectrum (St. George, Utah) One of the summer's nicest surprises..a mostly family-friendly adventure that doesn't rely on superheroes or science fiction to get your pulse racing... Rated: B+ Aug 15, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Was it great? No. But, it still kept me somewhat interested despite the weak plot and unbelievable situations. I saw it since it showcased St George and the surrounding area. They claimed it was AZ, but they shouldn't have. RUS.
