Summary: Great film about the sub-culture.
Review: I wouldn't really call this film a comedy, even though there are some pretty damn funny parts. And I wouldn't call it a drama, even though there are some dramatic parts. I would only suggest this film if you listen to punk rock, or if you can appreciate a good film.

Summary: O, Heroin Bob
Review: One day coming back from class I just happened to see my roommate watching a movie with a guy sporting green spiked hair who accidentally got dosed with 100 shots of acid hillarity ensued. CVurious I asked my roommate what film he was watching. He said SLC Punk. I asked what does SLC mean. He stated Salt Lake City. Salt Lake City? Not really the first city that comes to my mind when I think about punk music and lifestyle. I finally sat down and watched the movie myself, and I was quite pleased. It is an entertaining romp through several differnt musical genres: New Wave, Heavy Metal, and of course punk, and the rivalries that these differences caused. It is a fascinating film that shows a young man growing up believeing in the punk spirit, but eventually seeing how empty many of his ideals are, and the harsh realities of the lifestyle he leads. A great entertaining film.

Summary: average yet great-bad yet good-poser yet punk-enough already
Review: Before I go into depth concerning the film, I must say that in all honesty-this is a good movie. Not a great movie. Not quite much of anything to make it truly "amazing". But an overall good movie. I feel as if this movie erratically weaves between being "amazing" and, well...overacted, badly edited/directed, and just plain lame at some points. Furthermore, and more importantly, the movie is predictable. Extremely predictable. I don't want to give spoilers (because I HATE it when people do that and this movie is worthy of a viewing san-spoilers), but then again you practically get spoilers by watching the movie itself, but for those who have seen the movie-I'm speaking specifically about the overdose scene (which leads to a scene containing a rare gem of acting provided by Lilliard.) This movie has convinced me that Matthew Lilliard is completely underrated by the industry and stuck in roles of dunces and fools for no good reason. I'm not one to cry in movies, but that scene brought tears streaming from my eyes and sobs from my throat. Also, I personally thought that the scene of Steve's bad acid trip was an amazing and overlooked scene in the movie and example of film today. It is an interesting example of the choices in editing used in this movie (in fact, really, the only good example-this movie could have been sooo much better with different angles, etc). now I've noticed how some are bashing this movie as non-authentic/poser/whatever, but something has to be remembered here-that this was a movie shot in 1998 about 1985, not a movie shot in the 80's focusing on the mid 80's (I'm referencing surburbia, obviously...poser...) but imagine if we made a movie based on punk in 2002. That scene at the mall still rings true today in our world of hot topic and the rest of that (junk). The fact is that this movie is a parallel to our world today. If it's not Reagan then its bush, the state liquor store. And most importantly, we're still listening to the Dead Kennedys, Ramones, Velvet Underground, and (not to fail to mention) west coast like Blondie-all in this movie. All still relevant. And yet we're still lab rats on a giant spinning wheel, just like Steve and Bob and the rest of them. Struggling in America. Struggling in the world of conservative order. Struggling in the world of SLC. Overall, this movie weaves between greatness and mediocrity, comedy and drama, punk and poser. But worth your time. Well, well worth your time and money.

Summary: Excellent Movie - Not Just For Punks and Wannabes!
Review: My brother has been raving about this movie since it came out, so I thought, why not? Besides my near faint during the opening credits when I found out that Broadway performer Adam Pascal was in this movie (Eddie) I was completely floored by it! I wouldn't know real punk music if it bit me, and I didn't hit highschool until almost a decade after this movie takes place, but it still holds this almost obscene, cult-like, monumental truth about society and life in general. Well, maybe not that huge. But this is the first movie I've seen in a long time that actually had me come away thinking. If you're tired of fluff movies made just for profit, watch this movie. If you like Matthew Lillard, watch this movie. If you like punk music, watch this movie (although I get that from my brother.) If you like Broadway, watch this movie. If you remember the eighties with any fondness, watch this movie. If you were dissilusioned by the eighties, watch this movie. That is, if you're not afraid of thinking.

Summary: Simply Swell
Review: This movie was one of the best movies i've ever seen. And YES punk is more than just music. This movie shows you in a way the "roots" of punk. Matthew Lillard does an amazing job, and shows his true acting ability. This movie is pretty controversial, but VERY enjoyable. The ending holds something in store that no one had anticipated. BUY THIS NOW! you'll love it... by the way, not a movie for posers!

Summary: SLC Punk is an excellent movie
Review: I first watched this movie with a friend of mine and immediately I became engrossed in the world of Steve-o and Heroin Bob. This movie is not nessecarily for posers. In fact, you could take a look at the universal act of posing to any sterotype of people. People pose to be preps, or jocks, etc. I think this movie is one that perhaps everyone should watch on quests to find themselves. Not to encourage posing, but because this movie makes you really question your own beliefs.

Summary: God made this movie
Review: This is a movie brillently made. the cast is all star with a performance that can match no other. matthew lillard plays the part of an anarcyist that is really trying to find himself within the comical seriousness of this movie. along with his friend, heartbreaks, and a realization of what he needs to do, in the end everything....somewhat....comes together.

Summary: great movie
Review: i don't care what you say, it's a great movie. it's not suburbia (but no other punk film is) but it has some good performances on behalf of many of the main characters. some scenes are over-acted (mainly Bob and Steve-o talking about how you gotta have a home). so teeny-bopper to hardcore punk, you can enjoy this film. (teeny-bopper punk. that's an oxymoron)

Summary: Greatest Ever
Review: This movie, as other people may have said, starts out telling a story, but ends up being a dramatic spiral of events. Its about two anarchist punks who live in Salt Lake City. They are rebeling against society. The movie starts with Bob and Stevo as hardcore, die-hard punks. Over the course of the movie they come to realize that rebelion is not dressing up like a bum and dying your hair blue, but instead you just are rebellious. They try to rebel by wasting their educated minds. In the end, Bob dies(very sad, I cried the 1st time I watched it) and Stevo must go on. This is when he realizes that he was nothing more then a trendy posuer. He also realizes that you can do a lot more damage from inside the system then by sitting on your butt wasting your educated mind not making any money.
