Another mockumentary about a fictional music group. This one is set in Norway, which gives it some novelty--I liked seeing the scenes of them traveling and getting a feel for the different settings. And this was a mostly funny movie with some catchy original tunes.
The problem for me is that is basically follows the same template as so many other fake documentaries, particularly music related ones. If you've seen Spinal Tap and A Mighty Wind, you get the idea. If, like me, you also happen to have been lucky enough to see Gangsta Rap: The Glockumentary, you might just be as underwhelmed as I was. Boyzvoiced was just a little tame in comparison.
I gave a six because it did have a lot going for it. The subplot with the male fan who ends up on stage (saving the band's career in the process) worked well. However, a lot of the build-up (trouble in the studio, bad press, lack of talent) felt routine. The highlight might have been the charity event gone wrong when the band ended up assaulting some Shriners during a mall show.
Overall, worth a watch, but I don't expect to give it any repeat viewings.
