It's a nice cast, led by the incomparable Dustin Hoffman and with a not-very-recognizable Debra Winger, who does a good job in the brief scenes that's she's in. I can attest that the choir boys are pretty accurately portrayed (although I was never at that skill level).
The highlight for me was the lead up and start of Zadoc the Priest composed by Handel (and also known as the Coronation Anthems). The work always sends chills down my spine and this version did not disappoint. I will see the movie again (several times) for that one part alone.
And the rest will also be worth seeing again. Boychoir didn't last too long in our local theatres but should also be a good rental.
