Summary: Why?
Review: ...There are very few things about "PUPS" that make any sense or hold any resemblence to society.The movie goes as follows. Stevie(Van hoy) finds his mother's gun and decides to play with it and show it to his girlfriend Rocky. He eventually takes the gun with him,then, on the way to school for some unknown reason decides to rob a bank. This movie tries to be many things( A love story,Action movie,Bank robbery movie) but fails at all of them.
Burt Reynolds should be asamed to be in this horrible picture and it may keep him from ever winning any type of life-time achivemnet award in my book. Many people complian about too much swearing in this movie but I complain about R.A.N.Y.A(Ruthless Abuse of a New York Accent). This movie tries hard to make a plot develop towards the middle but that just makes it that much more horrible. A part in this movie discuses whether the two kids and the hostages will end up in heaven or hell makes no sense because anyone involved in this movie has to have ties to Satan himself. If you even think about purchasing this movie then may god have mercy on your soul. If you just want a bank robbery movie I suggest "Dog day afternoon" or "Point Break"

Summary: unbelievable
Review: i came across this at 3am this week on hbo, and i cant begin to tell you how awful and painfully unbelievable this movie is. ANYONE in that bank could have broken that little brat in half by merely grabbing his wrist. this movie only works as an example of how far tarantino has influenced movies in a negative way, though he has done some good also....anyway, stay away from this pile and watch something intelligent like the Usual Suspects or Memento instead

Summary: IT'S NOT EVEN WORTH 1 STAR!!!!
Review: I do not remember when i saw a movie wich was so boring and fake..The movie is about a kid and a girl wich decide to robb a bank. Well the idea could be good, especially with all the stuff happened.. The only thing the kid could say is I'm Psycho!! Wich was so uncool and fake.. But it's maby a good idea to rent it with some friends and laugh about for a long time, because it sucks harder then i can remember. I'll give 3 words for this movie: BAD ACTING, BAD SCRIPT and .....BAD ACTING

Summary: Pups
Review: I found Pups on HBO one night when I was channel surfing through my satellite guide. At first I didn't want to watch it then I really did. I turned it on and I loved the movie. When they rob the bank I realize how much guts Stevie has. I'm surprised that Rocky went along with it to. The movie was great and is now my 2nd favorite movie. I cried at the ending because it's so sad and romantic. I hope you like the movie as much as I did!!

Summary: No words could describe how terrible this movie is.
Review: I was 14 years old when I saw this movie, and it was about the same age as the two main characters. Basically what it's about is two kids rob a bank wow very exciting. ''Stevie'' finds a hand gun and with his girlfriend Rocky they rob a bank. The two 13 year olds go into a bank with a hand gun and force everyone to the floor and so on, nothing new you've seen it all before. What gets to me about this movie is that all they had to do was tackle this kid and take the gun away. The acting (stunk) and I can't believe Burt would do this movie. Now this movie is great....for laughs. They try and be dramatic but it's really a comendy to me. The ending was so cheezy they tried to make it a tear-jerker and it worked I cried! I cried because I was laughing so hard. This should be the voted the worst movie of all time but at the same time it should be voted the FUNNIEST movie of all time!

Summary: So thirteen year-olds are real
Review: In the past twelve years are so, there has appeared a spate of good movies that proved to be a minor revolution of sorts. In effect, they dragged that frustratingly enigmatic 10 to 15 year-old age group out of the Pollyanna era of easy stereotyping and presented the youngsters dwelling there as real, sentient human beings. Not only did they present youthful characters who were quite human in their thoughts, drives, ambitions, decisions, and dialog, but they were cast with youthful actors of real substance, who could stand up with the best of adults in the profession. "Emma's Shadow", "Leon", "Bastard Out of Carolina", "Ellen Foster", "The Mighty", "The Cure", "Lawn Dogs", "Digging to China", and "Tumbleweeds" are a few such daring offerings. Unfortunately, most of these pictures, being independents, made-for-tv productions, or controversial in content, received little public recognition or theatrical exposure. "Pups" follows the pattern in three ways. The two middle-school aged kids in this movie certainly have to be taken seriously. Sure they acted impulsively and irresponsibly; kids who would decide on the spur of the moment to rob a bank are not acting responsibly. Adults have been known to choose as bad or worse actions, and for even less reason. Obviously, there were situations in Stevie's life that seemed to lead him in that dangerous direction. And obviously, even before he found his mother's gun, you were given to know that on this particular day Stevie was a disaster looking for a place to happen. And even though Rocky joined him in his dangerous acts because of her attachment to him, you were given to know she did so reluctantly (girls have been known to do that kind of thing in the adult world too). That she would get caught up in the thrill of the adventure and power of it all is quite human as well, which made the situation the scarier since it seemed she might represent the only hope for a rational resolution. FBI agent Daniel Bender (Burt Reynolds) grew to be quite concerned for Stevie and Rocky as kids, and he struggled desperately to keep them from getting hurt; but he didn't seem to know how to relate to them as thinking and feeling humans. "Pups" also follows the trend of those other revolutionary movies by getting very little public exposure. Real-life tragedy interceded too dramatically. Finally, "Pups" follows the pattern by casting in the roles of Stevie and Rocky two young actors of consummate skill. Cameron Van Hoy is remarkable in his first major role, and Mischa Barton adds another great performance to her already impressive acting history (check out her stunning reading of the role of the complex Devon in "Lawn Dogs"). This is as powerful a movie as you'll ever see, possibly too powerful for some. But if for no other reason, I recommend you see "Pups" for the excitement of watching a pair of outstanding young actors in action.

Summary: Pick of the litter
Review: Many critic's took an extra amount of their time to view Pup's, and most of them liked it. Two kids decide to hold up a bank. No specific reason, just because it's there. The boy, Stevie, is the leader of the two. He whips his dad's pistol out of his backpack and barges into the bank forcing everyone to the floor. Rocky, his girlfriend, remain's hesitant at first, but is soon enjoying a pleasure that she had never experienced: being on television. It may seem horrible that a film about youngster's holding up a bank even exist's, but Ash has directed a lyrical justice needing to be seen. You must understand why the movie was made at all; to shock and baffle. In a time where children are shooting down school hall's and killing their parent's, Ash's film gave me a new insight to the kid's point of view. What flow's through the strained mind of a child that doesn't care if he blows away a security guard? Rocky is very disturbed, and at the same time very innocent. Burt Reynold's shows up on the scene amidst a swarm of cops as the nagotiator. He blast's hateful word's out at Rocky and Stevie so fast that his tongue and lips can barely support the cigarette hanging from his mouth. His problem's range from the bank - to home. (His wife call's him every 15 second's and he blast's her too.) Some have said that Pup's was too long. How silly is that! Another problem that someone complained about, was the fact that the hostages could have "taken out" the kids by snapping their neck. The person that said that didn't understand the relationship quickly developed between the kids and those held captive by them.

Summary: It Helps if You Turn Off the Sound
Review: One of the most addle-brained movies I've ever encountered. But I could watch Mischa Barton all day long.
