Paper Boys is an exploration of a microcosm of young door-to-door newspaper salesmen who are closer than most families in many regards. A truly ensemble piece, the film revolves around a common problem for teens which most often feels unique but isnt, dysfunctional, non-traditional family. Add to this violence, psychological abuse, confusion over sexuality and a fierce awareness of ones own economic standing, the main character turns to drugs and finds himself in a tailspin while his friends have no idea how to handle it.
False bravado and hyper-sexuality amplified by drugs and painful circumstances, gives us a recipe for rich juxtaposition of comedy and potential tragedy. The soundtrack creates a relentless ride which leaves one emotionally exhausted from laughter and tears.
