These critics report that the Land of Lakes Choirboys are “mentioned by insiders in the same breath as the Vienna Boys’ Choir,” a fair comparison since Stockwell studied voice with Gerlad Trabesinger of the Vienna Boys’ Choir and lived and worked with the Vienna Boys’ Choir at the same time.

We gradually meet the choirboys, those cops on the front lines of the new war in the urban free-fire zone.
The Choirboys, the well written story of a group of hard-drinking cops, is a classic guy-novel.
All the choirboys are policemen from the same station, and between them manage to encompass all the stereotypes - hard boiled veteran, soft rookie, [stubborn] caring thinker, the author even manages to include a token Black and Asian (who classes himself as Hispanic) - they're all here.

Aldrich's best work was undoubtedly behind him when he took on this unpleasant dark comedy, which aims to highlight the worst aspects of the LAPD in sharply satirical fashion but misses the mark by a mile.
Based on a novel by Wambaugh (who later disowned the film) The Choirboys has Durning and Gossett head the cast as Los Angeles cops who escape the hell of the job by indulging in some seriously dodgy after-hours behaviour.
It's a dislikeble film; the characters are largely repulsive, the comedy lewd rather than clever, and the direction disappointingly workmanlike considering Aldrich's track record.

"The Choirboys" is essentially made of two different movies: the first half (and more) is a plotless, "Police Academy" -type (even if it was made several years earlier) comedy, and a fairly consistently UNfunny one, too.
It's not that the gags aim mostly at a juvenile level (which they do); it's that they are simply not funny 90% of the time.

The Choirboys -- The screen adaptation of Joseph Wambaugh's novel seems to imply that Los Angeles would be a relatively peaceful city if it could only get rid of its corrupt, drunken, violent, perverted and vicious police force.
Scriptwriter Christopher Knopf has thrown together a pointless series of clumsy, presumably fl-comedy sketches of police antics which director Robert Aldrich treats in cynical, leering fashion.
