Chris Azzopardi New York Times Directed by Tamra Davis (“Crossroads,” “Billy Madison”), the movie often feels more like a greatest hits compilation than a cohesive narrative. Nov 13, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

Michael W This showbiz documentary was really good. The entire crew did an excellent job on the story of how boy bands became extremely popular from the early days to now. If you haven't seen this documentary yet, check it out sometime. It's worth it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/25 Full Review Ed R A very brief documentary of the history of Boy Bands where more could be told. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/31/24 Full Review Birithivy Y Larger Than Life: Reign Of The Boybands - 8/10. For me, boyband music is great. Its light, easy to listen to, and just super positive for the most part. I grew up listening to boybands because for me, it had a similar sound in musicality to the tamil music I would hear. This doc serves as an interesting look back at the history of the boyband, chronicling the origins of the concept of a boyband to where it is today. Growing up listening to Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, Savage Garden, Westlife, and many others, this was a great watch in terms of learning of how this genre of music seemed to soar and take over. Its more of a doc catered for fans of that music or people that grew up in the generations where boybands were more prominent. But overall, a fun and informative watch! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/22/24 Full Review Inina T I found it to be good. There is no doubt that fans of boybands should see the film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Nicholas R This is a doc you definitly want to see. Boy bands are larger than life! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Read all reviews
