"Re-watch - April 26th Linklater double feature After Boyhood ended I decided to finally revisit The Newton Boys which I haven't seen since it was in theatres. And my rating still stands after all these years. It's not a great film, especially among Linklater's works, but it never aspires to be either. It's based off of real events though, and never ceases to be entertaining. I'm rather surprised by how disliked it seems to be in general (look at the difference between its ratings & Boyhood's), "
