'Orz Boyz' (burst )with rambunctious (energy) For homegrown Taiwan director Yang Ya-che, it's all about (imagination). When the (lofty) floating illustrated theme-park world of (perfection) isn't flying out of reach for our young heroes in "Orz Boyz," they're (bouncing back) down to earth for hilarious encounters in a Taiwan all to easy to (recognize) as our own. The budding director's latest (creation) has color and (personality); and despite the central themes of friendship and "stray" children not being the (freshest picks) of the day, skillful balance in fostering the development of this flick has left it smelling ripe and ready for a hungry public. Focusing on the lives of two young kids bursting with energy and imagination, Yang gradually introduces us to the Taiwan's version of the little rascals. Yang portrays the two boys, known by the world in general as "Liar No.1" (Pang Chin-yu) and "Liar No.2" (Lee Kuan-yi) as two (rapscallions) with healthy interests but over-hearty (appetites for) fun, friendship, action figures and (mischief) (in general). As they live out their (youths) in a coastal township in Danshui, the pair hops from (adventure) to (calamity) in a plot that has been criticized as (dragging) on too long and detracting from the (original) charisma of the piece. "Orz" was (allegedly coined) in Japan as an emoticon expressing a bow in (deference), with the head depicted by the letter "O," with the (kowtowing) body in tow. The name speaks for itself, as the film deals with the question of who should (apologize for) the boys' predicament.
