There's no need to "ORZ" (bow in apology and deference) when it comes to Orz Boyz! Best known as the author of Blue Gate Crossing which was adapted into a hit film in 2002, Taiwan novelist and first-time director Gillies Yang Ya Che won the Best Director prize at the 2008 Taipei Film Festival with this childhood charmer dedicated to kids who can't wait to grow up, and adults who wish they could be kids again.
A surprise box office hit in Taiwan, Orz Boyz revolves around two overactive, troublemaking schoolboys, Liar No. 1 (Pang Chin Yu) and Liar No. 2 (Lee Kuan Yi), who run wild in the coastal town of Danshui. With seemingly no parents around to discipline them, the two mischievous boys spend their days pulling pranks, bullying classmates, and jumping from one imaginative adventure to another. What's fun for them is calamity for others as they wreak havoc after havoc on each other and the hapless people around them. For their countless shenanigans, the boys get slapped with library duty for the summer, but instead of fixing books, they start hatching up plans for their journey to the land of Orz where children instantly become adults and the good times never end.
