The Boys Next Door

The Boys Next Door is a touching film about five very special men with a lot to learn about life, and a lot to teach about love. When four mentally challenged men, Norman (Nathan Lane), Lucien (Courtney B. Vance), Arnold (Michael Jeter) and Barry (Robert Sean Leonard) share a house, their life is enriched by each other.

Being different isn't always easy, but it's never dull as they try to make sense of a mixed-up world -- theirs and everyone else's. The guys can be a handful, looking to Jack (Tony Goldwyn), their social worker, for help with everything from runaway rodents to helping Norman woo his new girlfriend (Mare Winningham).

As Jack and his boys face the ups and downs of daily life, they discover the magic of laughter, the power of love, and the joy of taming the urban jungle together.

Movie suitable for all ages. This television movie was produced by Hallmark as a Hallmark Hall of Fame Movie.
