Summary: This movie is more like a great documentary
Review: This movie is the real stuff some teens have to go through. Teens got to realize that being a bad@$$ isn't that great of a game. Parents got to realize that whatever they went through in their teen years is not the same as what teens go through now. They should stop "bragging" and start believing what teens go through today. Rules are meant to be broken. Its a natural thing people grow up with. Called Rebellion. Everybody does it, just matters how you do it.

Summary: THE REAL DEAL!!!
Review: Ilove this film. It really does show what is all to common to teens today.I am 14 and i saw the film with a friend of mine and to my knowledge he was more sarced to have sex that night than i was.We then realize this movie can scare the hell out of us why not others.This movie has been to shown to over 300 teens in my schools as a sex ed project and trust me when i say it has saved so many lives that i am getting an award for this film.So it may not make a difference to some but it is to real for teens who deal with this day to day.So i say 5 STARS!!

Summary: See This Movie!!
Review: This movie is like a summary of the past few years of my life. Although some of you may believe that no real teens act like this, there are. Mabye you hung with a different crowd then me. But I can swear I've experienced almost the exact same thing as the teens in this film. If you are a parent... beware this movie may want you to lock your children up and never let them out. But, it could possibly become their reality. See this movie!!

Summary: Teens point of veiw
Review: I thought it was a really good movie. It really took a realistic look to alot of things that are happening today. Yea, not all kids are like that, but some are, and it's a real eye opener to people that look at that kind of life style from a distance, and think it's cool. I think the movie was very well done, and that it was abit harsh, but it was needed. I think it's a good movie for mature teens to see, because it puts a damper look on drugs and sex, and shows a not so romantic side to that kind of life. It's a good movie to watch with your kids if you can be open to talk about it, and not be embarrased. I saw the movie on my own with a bunch of friends when i was about 13, and it really affected my life, in a good way. It made me realize afew things, and think about the decisions in my life more carefully.

Summary: Shock without Substance
Review: An artistic but exploitative depiction of a fringe element of loser teenagers. It seems to me that a majority of the favorable reviews here are from teens. For those of you (most, I'm sure) who never have behaved or will behave like the actors in "kids", realize you're impressed by seeing your generation perform in such a graphic manner for the first time on film. Don't be naive enough to believe that this somehow reflects the filmmakers' empathy for teens of the 90's. It merely shows that they have succeeded in their aim of producing a hip film full of graphic sex that teens will talk about, and of course, spend lots of money to see. To speak so highly of this film and to make such unbelievably ludicrous comments such as "the best movie I have ever seen" betrays either an inherent and pathetic deficiency in appreciation of cinema, or a severely limited exposure to quality films. For those of you who can honestly say that the behavior of the teens in this film mimics your own, may God help you.

Summary: More true than you think
Review: First of all, I live in a town just outside of Nashville,TN. Even here there are incidents like the ones portrayed in the movie. It happens everywhere. Not just in New York. I'm 21 now and just coming out of stuff like that. When I was 18 and 19 I was clicked up with people similar to Telly and Casper. While I admit that the film is harsh and not all teens are like that(take note parents), this was nonetheless a very true to life depiction of 90's youth (Alot more true to life than Juice, which some viewers suggested). I recommend at least watching this movie one time.

Summary: Misleading title: This movie should be called "DELINQUENTS"
Review: I would love to explain how ridiculous this movie is. But if I described the scenes, this review would not be printed. This movie was advertised as potraying an "Average" group of teens. SO misleading. These kids are not any way near average. They are the lowest of the low. I am sure there must be some losers like them, but why advertise them as average? Where i went to school, kids were looking for jobs. Kids were not all flunking out. Girls did not kiss each other casually on the lips. Boys do not comment to other boys about their mothers breasts, unless they were looking to get slugged. An average kid does not kick their pet across the room. Girls are not so naive as to fall for the BS this "Telly" gives them... any girl would be able to see right through him. An average teen in the school was not as uncaring as he was. Sure kids are horny, but not cold hearted and sick. And my friends (who certainly are not Mary- Poppins personalitied) do not reveal in graphic detail about the sex life with their girlfriend. And one person in this movie, "Casper" made the most idiotic statement i have ever heard, saying he liked to have sex with men, and he wasnt gay, he just liked to do it "for the hell of it". I am sorry, but these kids are not average. As i said before, i am sure there are kids like this, but they are not average kids. Maybe if they called this film "Delinquents" I would have a different perspective. Writer Harmony Korine wants to shock people, but he is no good at it. He takes shocking material and makes it into a movie that is not enjoyable. Korine is a John Waters wannabe, but does not succeed in making shocking films that are worth watching and are enjoyable. John Waters writes stuff that is shocking, but at the same time entertaining. Korine should visit Waters and get some tips. Korine did even worse with "Gummo"-- quite honestly one of the ten worst movies of all time. The only thing Korine has done that is worth watching is the Sonic Youth music video he directed "Sunday" with Macaulay Culkin. (Culkin can pretty much save almost anything). One last word about "Kids"-- maybe i would have reccomended it if Telly got his just desserts at the end and a girl castrated him so he would not hurt any more girls. Lorenna Bobbitt did it, and this Telly deserved it more than anyone else. By the way something also I noticed, what girl would want to be with Telly... He was ugly! Totally ugly. Enough zits to play connect-the-dots on his body. This Leo Fitzpatrick is a horrible actor, and will get nowhere in my opinion. You want a respectable Leo who is going somewhere in Hollywood, try Mr. Dicaprio

Summary: these things happen. dot.
Review: why should anyone say that this movie isn't realistic? maybe it's ment to be a warning, maybe not, but it's absolutely real. i've seen this life. i can still see it. actually this is not a movie, it's a documentary. maybe it's not a masterpiece technically, but it doesn't have to be. the truth is actually even more impressively shown this way. anyone denying that the events in this movie could happen, doesn't know... and i think this movie is a great, harmless way for him/her to see this different world they're not familiar with.
