Summary: What crap!
Review: Looks like the mundanes are trying to explain why freaks are not like them. Feels like it was written by a hippie turned yuppie to justify to his conscience why he sold out. See Suburbia instead.

Summary: soundtrack good...movie not so good!
Review: i recall first hearing about this movie from some mtv movie special on indie films from the sundance film festival but as soon as i saw matthew lilliard (one of the worst actors ever and very talentless-why he's playing shaggy in the scooby doo film is beyone me!)i listen to punk music (not blink-182...stuff like stiff little fingers/clash/dropkick murphys/rancid/damned/business etc.)but this movie portrays punks in a very different way then they really are! i read a interview from the film with lillard where he said this is based on a punks point of view from the early 80's which to me comes out a a lie and false info. after viewing this when it first was released on video (blockbuster had 5 copies and they are still being rented)i was shocked at how lame this really was. let's see here...lillard refers to u.s. punks out there using fake cockney accents and u.s. punk being better than uk (uk is far better)it potrays the one guy as a hippie who does nothing but drugs but of course punks in this film are against the mods but it;s ok to hang with a burnout. it's bad enough that people today think if they have a mohawk they are automatically a punk and movies like this are making that seem true! to me there 3 kinds of punks out there! the kind who think it's a fashion and follow by rules, the kind that thinks everything mtv says is punk... is punk rock and the kind that have open minds and are bogged down by the fasion but those people (and i'm one)usually get bashed because if i listen to punk why don't i dress it and if i don't i get bashed! oh and one more thing...what's with the ending of this film? ok i'll buy into what everyone is saying and hang up the punk gear and wear a suit and tie! sure alot our 1st generation punks today are in their 40's and wearing suits for 8 hours a day but the ending of this film was lame! my advice...rent the original 1983 version of suburbia for a movie about the punk lifestyle and the crap they go through or may i even suggest a decent movie about neo-nazis (racist skinheads-which i don't like but it's a good film)romper stomper...which featured the starring role debut of russell"gladiator"crowe (who is an awsome actor). good flick and of course you have your neo-nazi slc punk! as well with american history x wich portrays neo-nazis in a way that's somewhat true but doesn't tell the whole truth (if you've seen it you knwo what i mean!)

Summary: Great Father / Son Flick
Review: 40-year-old man watches "punk" movie with teenage son. Son decides to be a punker. Father decides to become an Anarchist. No, nothing's quite that simple...The movie is a great vehicle for exploring teenage rebellion. I had a great time watching it with my newly teenaged son. It inspired him to begin posing as a bit of a punker & a bit of an anarchist. I've challenged him to get beyond the poseur side of things and to delve into art, rebellion, creativity & =REAL= Anarchism. Enough of bridging the generation gap--on with the movie. I only gave it four stars because Stevo really wasn't punk like the punks I knew. Heroin Bob was. This was a poser movie pretending to portray the punk scene as a transient phenomenon which could not survive maturity. Too bad they didn't do it as a =PUNK= movie--PUNK all the way through the editing process! Not to be missed--in fact, this could even be sold as a stand alone 5 minute video--is the scene where they cross the state line to buy booze. That short scene is worth the entire price of the movie. Don't miss it.

Summary: Superb
Review: This is truly an instantly classic piece of film right here. I think to much attention is given to it's punk themes by most viewers though. It's not about being punk, it's a great movie about growing up, and finding out who you are and where you fit. About how hard it can be to abandon the immature views and lifestyles we become so accustomed to when we're young. This is a wonderful film and is truly one of the best films ever produced. I think anyone can enjoy it, and everyone should give it a try.

Summary: Best Movie Ever!
Review: This movie is so factual there is no way you could give it less than 5 stars. If you are a punk or wannabe punk or just plain wanna see a good movie, get out there and buy/rent this movie. Watch it for Heroin Bob. He lives on in all our memories.

Summary: SLC PUNK: The Movie every punk MUST see
Review: After my friend on several occasions to rent it I did and was I amazed. This had to be one of the greatest movies I have ever seen in my life. If you are into local scene you can really appreciate this movie. It's a vrey funny movie. Not only is it funny but shows you much about life and how we should view it. The scene towards the end when Steveo and Sandy trip out on Acid is an amazing scene. It is very strange but I enjoyed. I also felt that the ending was very powerful. It's a must see, must rent and a must own movie

Summary: Surprising find...
Review: My husband and I would not generally watch movies like this, because of the way it looks...but we saw it on tv and from the moment we started watching, we were intrigued. Not just by all of the punkiness, looking beyond that, you see a young man coming to terms with the fact that things change, no matter how hard you try to make them stay the same...and I think everyone has had that feeling. it's not just about being a punk, it's about growing up, and how to deal with that. A good movie, I would like to own.

Summary: Rock On!
Review: SLC Punk! is the Old Testament of punk culture. It portrays the beginning of punk rock and intertwines that concept of anarchy with the struggles of a confused youth. The term chaos, which is the foundation of anarchy, was the backbone of this film. All was good in the beginning, when two punks were trying to live the life of a true anarchist, which in their mind was to fight system. By fighting, partying, and generally causing havoc, they felt that they were making a difference. After living this redundant lifestyle, the lead character Matthew Lillard has a revelation, where he finds that his life is leading nowhere and his strife as a punk means nothing. A state of confusion and disorientation follows, where Matthew comes to terms with what he must do. He falls for a girl who basically says that all he stands for is worthless, and in this he finds truth. Finally, his best friend Bob dies, and all his confusion comes to a closure, when he decides to make something of his life, and fight the system from within. An excellent film.
