What's the Story?
WHO'S A GOOD BOY follows Chema (Sebastian Dante), a high school senior who desperately wants to be seen as popular by his classmates. When he's tasked with chaperoning a new transfer student (Sirena Ortiz), a beautiful popular girl, he believes that if they date, he'll be able to be popular himself. But this puts him at odds with his friends and the girl who actually likes him for himself.
Is It Any Good?
Who's a Good Boy? might give fans of raunchy teen comedies something to laugh at and enjoy. For other viewers who don't particularly care to see so much sex on screen, it might not be as enjoyable a watch. However, Who's a Good Boy? contains some universal ideas that everyone can root for, such as the importance of standing up for yourself and owning your own identity in the face of bullies. The film also highlights the importance of sticking close to friends who accept you for who you are.
