It's the day after Christmas in suburban Florida and Billy 5000 (Jack Corbett) and his friends pass the seemingly endless days by slacking, shoplifting, and beatboxing. In between lounging on the beach and sneaking into pools, Billy spends his time hustling on the food-on-demand app Grubster, desperate to make $5,000 before New Year's Eve. As he darts around the city delivering to a series of oddball characters, a routine stop at the mysterious Dolphin Groves Juice Company leads to a run-in with his former classmate--and crush--Rozebud (Miya Folick) and a surprise backpack stowaway in Donut, a bizarre creature from another world. But Dr. Dolphin (Janeane Garofalo), the powerful orange juice CEO, will do anything to get Donut back, and Billy is forced to make hard choices about love, friendship, and how far he'll go for financial security in a world ruled by capitalism in this absurdist and musical take on a coming-of-age comedy.

IndieWire

One of the freshest films of 2025, brilliantly juxtaposing the endless creative opportunities afforded to us by digital art with the anxiety of a generation that often feels like its own real-world opportunities are becoming fewer and further between.

Rated: B+

Variety

As wonderfully funny as "Boys Go to Jupiter" is, what makes this micro-production superior to macro-budget studio features is the heartfelt melancholy about the future the hero conveys, which it provides with class consciousness to boot.

Here is a movie notably unafraid to manifest the weirdest of the weird, no matter what the Mr. Moolahs of the world have to say.

Spectrum Culture

Boys Go to Jupiter possesses a DIY energy, inspired by old school claymation but pointedly created for the next generation, but mileage will vary on whether an hour and a half of the director’s eccentric sensibilities can sustain their initial charms.

Common Sense Media

A surreal escape from the mundane, this refreshing yet absurd film harnesses the power of lo-fi CGI to fight capitalism, hustle culture, the teenage experience, and even Florida.

Original Cin

Both jaded and fresh, Julian Glander’s debut film Boys Go to Jupiter is like a Gen-Z version of Richard Linklater’s early slacker comedies with a sprinkling of Studio Ghibli’s childlike fantasy.

Rated: B+
