Summary: It's A Good Movie For A Punk
Review: Though at first I wasnt sure if I wanted to go out and buy it, but i did. I was really surprised about how it was so relate to anarchy, cause i am one. But the back of the F**king box said nothing about anarchy, 'cept maybe once.
But still it all of the movie was full f**kin' frontal of punk rock and anarchy all the time. Which kicked ass. IT basicly taught you almost all of guidelines into being a anarchist. It really helped my friend get outta bands like Good Charlotte, Sum 41, Blink 182, etc. He started buying stuff like Fear, Dead Kennedys, Stooges, etc.
So this movie kicks ass, and also shows this band "ECP(Extreme Corpral Punishment)" I dont know if they were an actual band but the were awesome! It also made fun of the Sex Pistols, which was a cool point-of-view. While also for the emo kids it showed a big emotional side to the movie at the end.
So if you wanna learn punk rock, anarchy, getting laid, etc. GET THIS MOVIE NOW BEEYOTCH!

Summary: Great movie!!!
Review: Finally a good movie. Hadn't seen one of these in a while. This movie is a perfect representation of punks in the 80s. Todays punks have become smart, and have adopted the individuality belief instead of anarchy. This movie I believe gets it point across. It also is very unique. The scene at the punk show is pretty acurate to todays punk shows, but the punks of today don't party. They fight for a cause. Also this film does a great job at exposing posers, skinheads, mobs, metalheads, punks, and new wavers. SLC Punk starts out entertainingly enough as a sarcastic snapshot of the punk-rock scene in Salt Lake City in 1985 and is complete with mohawks, moshing, and vague avowals of anarchy. But gradually, the wanderings of Stevo and Heroin Bob turn into a multilayered exploration of character and culture shock. Though he spends his days drinking and mocking the values of his parents, Stevo turns just as critical an eye on his own rhetoric and lifestyle, and comes to find that aimless rebellion may be just as hollow as the mindless pursuit of money. No character has the right point of view; there are no easy solutions. SLC Punk sustains its energy through wit, realism, propulsive editing, and excellent performances from Lillard, Goorjian, and the rest of the cast. Did I mention plot. Yes the plot is great. It's emblematic of the movie's sophistication that Stevo's lawyer father is treated satirically without being dismissed; though baffled by his son's form of rebellion, he never loses hope that Stevo will go on to law school and continues to cajole Stevo and argue with him about how the world works. By its end, the constantly shifting perspective of SLC Punk achieves a surprising emotional depth. All in all at the end Stevo becomes anything but a poser. Now that he thinks for himself, and has a purpose for his rebellion, he's become a punk all of us punx would be proud of. Forget the critics, and the poseur anarchist out there. This movie is an accurate portrayal of the 80s punx, and thus you must keep in mind that we've changed. Although there are more poseurs out there than there are real punx. It was true in the 80s and is still true today.

Summary: Funny, but in no way punk
Review: This movie is incredibly funny. But, it really doesn't resemble the 80's punk scene at all. It's basicly every stereotype you ever heard and no real facts. And the plot leaves alot of holes. When Stevo finds his girlfriend with another guy, he says that it was ok, because they had an agreement. But, you have no clue what the agreement was. He discribes one guy as a "death rock punk guy", but when this character is finally introduced, he's a stoner/hippy. I really think this movie was just an attempt to make a profit off of punk rock (which has worked very well). I give it one star for comedy, and one for a good soundtrack. Other than that, this movie is garbage.

Summary: Sweet Punk Movie
Review: I think that this movie was great insperation to all anarky punks out there in the world today. I think that it really showed what kids do today like all the drugs and parties and even all the fights. The DVD has good footage of the movie and showes extra sceens and stuff. I just think that if your a ture punk or want to be a punk/poser then watch the movie and it will explane everything that you want to know about the life style of it. Till this day i know every word and sceen to the movie and watch it all the time. Plus it showes you a lot of hot guys in it and really kool things to do. It is like my bible!!! So go out and buy or rent the DVD and watch it, its not a wast of time nor money but an awsome movie!!!

Summary: Punk Life In Mormon
Review: This Movie is wounderful. It's not really about being a punk. It's really about finding yourself. Showing what was wrong with the entire idea of being different when you're really not. This movie has so many points in it you'd have to watch it all the way through 10 times just to get all the messages. This movie is the best petrayal of so many people out there. I think if you're a punker and you watch this movie or you'll either love it or hate it. I suggest everyone should watch this movie for it's moral and enjoyment. Plus, how many movies these days have a good plot and story line like this?

Summary: Real. Punk. Movie.
Review: I loved this movie. I'm not even really into the punk scene, I mostly like metal but I tohught the movie was great. Yes it was probably just trying to make some money off the punk culture, but atleast they did a good job. They represented punk in a very realistic way, had the right music and everything. It is a very funny, true, and sad story of a punk revolution in 1985. Following the character of Stevo, played by Matthew Lillard, it gives outsiders a look into a different culture showing the ups, downs, and the truth about anarchy that no one wants to see but everyone knows is true. I recommend this movie to anybody and everybody that likes music.

Summary: What are these lies?
Review: Alright, I've been involved with Punk Rock for aboot 4 or 5 years now, listening to everything from the largely known Punk {{Ramones, DK, Exploited, Rancid, ect}} to the newer underground {{ Devotchkas, Narcoleptic Youth, ect}} I used to be in that whole Anarchist Phase, and yes, became very fond of putting down this Country's Gov't. SLC Punk is the most over-acted, lying and fully just... nothing-ness movie ever made to show the 80's punk scene. Mathew Lillard... his costumes were just awful, they looked nothing like the punk of today let alone yesteryears. And Heroin Bob's hawk was one of those mohawks you see these kids running around today with. Now don't get me wrong, Im not an 20-soemthing year old who grew up in the 80's, Im a teenaged girl, but I feel like I've somehow have been cheated of my lifestyle in many ways. About an hour or so into the movie I seriously had to turn it off. It was a waste of my time along with money! Oh and another thing! The portrayal of other lables were completely wrong.. since when do Mods beat up Skins an Nazis? that is not correct seeing as Mods are Pasaphists{{Sp}} and I know damned well that most punk don't get beaten by jocks. The way they made Neo's and Skins look wasn't right at all, for one piece of proof.. most Skins aren;t Nazis. But anyhoo, this movie was just awful and it made everyone look heinous. So if you want realy Punk Rock, don't watch it, cuz even most punk don't believe in Anarchy anyways. Just another Media bash I spose...
