Two of Australasia’s funniest group have put divided a one-liners to uncover their dim comedy side in a superb Kiwi movie.
Not for a faint-hearted, Two Little Boys is, during times, a heartless story of mateship taken to a extreme.
Nige (Bret McKenzie) and Deano (Hamish Blake) have been inseparable friends given propagandize days and Deano has always looked out for his buddy.
Nige is a elementary male with elementary needs – a car, a partner and a prohibited beef pie.
But life turns pear-shaped for Nige when predestine conspires opposite him during 3 in a morning and he knocks over and kills a Norwegian backpacker while pushing by a centre of Invercargill.
Totally flustered, he turns to a male who always gets him out of jams – Deano.
Deano is rather some-more recurrent than Nige and sees their loyalty as a cornerstone of his life, and he will do positively anything to contend it.
Some might even contend there is a vast hold of psychopath about him.
When Deano stairs in to assistance Nige solve his backpacker problem, he decides a outing to a Caitlins is a answer – there they can dispose of a physique and bury a problem forever.
What complicates matters is Nige’s new flatmate – Gav (Maaka Pohatu) – might know a small too much.
Deano wants Gav to join them so he can kill dual birds with one stone, literally.
The boys’ adventures in a Caitlins underline many humorous moments, though with a clearly dim tinge to them.
When Deano sinks to his lowest inlet and a blood and physique tools start flying, it’s tough to keep your eyes on a screen.
What we’re left with is a really good New Zealand comedy set in a fantastic partial of a world.
