Summary: punkpunkpunk
Review: I love this movie. It reminds me of my friends. This movie is brilliant, and possibly the funniest movie I have seen in a while. However a great movie exhibits more than one characteristic, this does. It shows that growing up sux, especially in a small town where you are the minority. The ending is a bit depressing and makes you really look at life in and see it is not all fun and games. BUY IT you will see how the punk seen today, isn't really punk.

Summary: 'True to the SLC punk-rock spirit of 85'-
Review: This movie is true. Look at SLC now-and then, this movie beautifully orchestrated the actual lifestyle of punkers- my friends and I follwed the ethic- back then, and still do today. Steve-o and Heroin Bob's story is something that could have happened. Believe everything in this movie folks. It is all too real. Fight Fascism- fight Hicks, and screw authority!-

Summary: Beautiful, but not very Punk Rock
Review: Beautiful, well directed, well acted, this will be joining my library. However, the story of a privileged rich boy going punk in rebellion against his parents, embracing anarchy to give himself respectable purpose, discovering that anarchy is as senseless as his rich father's lifestyle, then in the end, selling out (or buying in) is not a new theme in coming of age films. Further, Stevo's high self esteem, strong sense of self, and rich kid background are not, in reality, typical of the SLC Punk scene. Lillard's performance is stellar and the story catches the effects of living in a religiously oppressive state gloriously. The acid trip scene in the park was brilliant.

Summary: SLC Punk
Review: The movie SLC Punk portrays the punk rock lifestyle with more accuracy than any other Punk Rock movie I have had the pleasure of watching. (besides Another State of Mind) If you ask anyone that was once a punk he/she can tell you similar stories. Geeks needing a place to belong, Punks realizing that their rebellion is wasted fighting the system instead of working to change it, and Parents just trying to understand ... this movie the entire movement can relate to. The movie also boasts a great soundtrack with the music of Fear, The Stooges, Minor Threat, Suicide Machines (Although not a band in 1985, when the movie was to have taken place) Dead Kennedy's and more. This is a must see movie for anyone who was once a punk, or anyone questioning their punk rock lifestyle. Anyone who may disagree with my current view of punk rock should look at their blue hair in the mirror, and think if you would hire yourself for a job.

Summary: Fantastic, A wild Ride.
Review: There have been few movies about the punk scene in general. And few that representes what the scene was like in America. I was and still am a PUNK, I lived this lifestyle. This move is a must see for anyone who truly wants to understand this powerful movement.

Summary: stupid!
Review: i gave this movie two stars for the great soundtrack and that's the only good thing about this! this film blows so damn much.i listen to punk hang out with punk and i am a damn punk and this movie makes punks look like burnout hippies! matthew lillard funny but not in this film! i hate that he says the word poser in every sentence he says.and i really hate the ending where he decides that he doesn't want to be a punk anymore and becomes a little smart rich boy that he should have always been but he needed to dress punk to fit in! this is a punk movie for the green day/offspring corprate punks that think they are all that and punk is a fashion! i'll stick to the 1983 classic suburbia-a real movie that shows what punks are all about!

Summary: Great movie- has the makings of a cult classic
Review: A MUST SEE! This movie has the right actors, the right lines and the right settings. It is comic genius and has the makings of a future cult classic- Matthew Lillard shines.. This movie, whether you're a punker or not, has the kind of UMPH! to make you want to run out, buy a Sex Pistols album, dye your hair blue, and go to a rave.
Rating:
Summary: Nostalgic fun
Review: I remember the punk rock scene: The art, the music, the political ideology, the drugs, the attitude, etc. I was in high school when that was THE big thing. This movie captures this quirky era so well, and also adds humor, drama, and some really accurate scenes on what an acid trip can feel like.
