Hank Sartin Time Out Rated: 3/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Sid Smith Chicago Tribune Naked Boys live are a hoot. Frozen on celluloid, they're tacky. Rated: 1/4 Nov 15, 2007 Full Review Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter The songs generally are quite fun, with the contributing stamp of famed comedy writer Bruce Vilanch quite evident. And the strong-voiced performers deliver them in engaging fashion. Nov 9, 2007 Full Review Don Willmott Filmcritic.com the whole exercise can't help but feel a bit zoological, as if we're watching exotic specimens on display. Rated: 3/5 Oct 18, 2007 Full Review Ernest Hardy L.A. Weekly Few of the songs, which range from gleefully raunchy to gratingly sentimental, are truly memorable. Oct 18, 2007 Full Review Maitland McDonagh TV Guide A restaged version of the long-running Off-Broadway revue of the same title, Naked Boys Singing delivers exactly what it promises. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 12, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I was disappointed in this film. They had a great opportunity to make it more than the stage show, and they chose to make a movie that was just a filming of an audience watching the stage show. If you've never seen it, you should know that that show is performed on an empty stage with no sets or props -- those are left to the viewers' imaginations. This works fine with live theater, but for a big-screen viewing experince, it just felt empty. In some of the sketches, such as Naked Maid or Window to Window, the stories are largely about the setting: in the former, our protagonist has been hired to clean a wealthy couple's fancy apartment in the buff, and in the latter, two men in different apartment buildings have a "long-distance" relationship by observing each other with binoculars. These would have particularly benefitted from not being reduced to just naked men standing on an empty stage. Naked Boys singing has no overarching story but is just a series of unconnected vignettes. Its main appeal in theaters is that it offers catchy songs and attractive men in the nude. Nowadays it's not difficult to see naked men if one wishes to, and the songs from this show can be listened to without sitting through the film. The filmmakers should have done everything they could to bring the short stories to life and offer something beyond listening to the soundtrack, but they really dropped the ball. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Without the nakedness it wouldn't be as entertaining. The numbers were good, loved the simple plot, but I think the nakedness is unnecessary. HOWEVER, the biggest downfall of this... musical is the vulgar humour that is not very funny at all. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member A recording of the original off-Broadway hit Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member VERY CLEVER & VERY FUNNY!!! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Audience Member A recording of the original off-Broadway hit Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Very well done. Watching the extra features gives a lot more insight into what goes thru their minds!! 1 or 2 of the songs may be a bit boring, but most are very cleverly written.
