I just saw A Few Best Men and looked Kevin Bishop up on imdb. Could not BELIEVE (it's obvious how much it couldn't believe it by my use of capitals) he was Jim Hawkins from one of my favourite movies as a kid.
This is my absolute favorite scene from my absolute favorite movie ever. No piece of cinema has ever surpassed the pure joy and fun that watching this impels.
I think people are being way too harsh on Jim's singing voice. He was only young in this film probably about 12 and his voice hadn't broken yet. At least he CAN sing and in tune as well. I don't know for sure, but his voice could be dubbed and he may be lip-synching. He may really be singing. And for the record, quit mentioning Justin Bieber as this film has NOTHING to do with him. I'm sick of him popping up on EVERY video -_-
@CurseCreep Actually, that's Kevin Bishop. And those singing vocals were actually recorded before filming, but Bishop's voice had changed during filming, so the recorded vocals were used. Besides, Justin Bieber was too young to play that part.
I noticed 4 things, 1) Jim's voice is SO girly! 2) Silver was like WTF when he first started @ 1:52 and 3) They had to have Silver put the manliness back into it IMMEDIATELY after his solo and 4) THIS MOVIE IS AWESOME!
Dude, i freaking LOVE this movie... it is my NUMBER ONE favorite... i could watch it like four times a day and NOT get bored with it XD but it is also kinda bad that i am a chick and i can't even get that high.... that dude's a regular justin bieber!!!
In songs character's voices changed completely. Like in the second part (0:10) The Lizard guy has a strange lizard voice, but there's it's normal! ^^ Haha!
@TheJeffman1985 But it's important to the musical comedy, because it's out of the normal male range (without falsetto) so it emphasizes the irony of "manly men"! It wouldn't be the same without it!
I don't mean to be critical, but I'm not a big fan of Jim's singing. I'm not saying the kid's a bad actor, he did a pretty good job in this movie, but I wasn't a big fan of his singing.
@TF2Fan101 I agree entirely. He was a good actor (I actually haven't seen him in anything else, unfortunatley) but they could've lowered all his singing lines an octave or two.
@Dan00bindahouse I saw him talking on Law of the Playground about how all he got in school for ages whenever his name was called on the register was, and I quote, " 'muppet', 'kermit', wanker' "
Ok, so, is the finger's name Mr. Bimbo or Mr. Bimble? I checked lyrics for this song and it said Bimbo, but that's weird. And it also sounds like Mr. Bimble... >.>

Surprisingly, any pubescent boy can reach those notes. It's called singing in falsetto.
