Two Little Boys (film)

Two Little Boys is a 2012 New Zealand comedy film written and directed by Robert Sarkies. It stars Bret McKenzie and Hamish Blake as childhood friends, Deano and Nige, whose misadventures lead to a series of increasingly absurd and calamitous events. The film is set in the South Island of New Zealand and explores themes of friendship, redemption, and the consequences of impulsive behavior.

The plot revolves around Deano, an immature and hapless man-child, who accidentally runs over and kills a Swedish backpacker with his brother's van. Nige, his best friend, helps him cover up the accident, leading to a series of increasingly complicated lies and mishaps as they attempt to dispose of the body and evade detection. The film features dark humor and slapstick comedy, often juxtaposed against the backdrop of the stunning New Zealand landscape.

Two Little Boys received mixed reviews upon its release, with some critics praising its quirky humor and strong performances from the lead actors, while others found the plot overly convoluted and the humor inconsistent. Despite the mixed critical reception, the film achieved some commercial success in New Zealand.
