Summary: Don't even bother
Review: This film deserves 2 stars because it is different and does make you feel sad and empty, so I guess you have to give a film something that makes you feel that way. You also have to mind that these kids were just actors. After having taught in the New York Public Schools in New York for two years and growing up as a white teen in the Mission Hill section of Roxbury, Massachusetts, I can say that the kids in this movie make up less than .2% of the kids in the inner cities. Lots of kids have drank when they were 8 or 9 but not many of them act as stupid as these kids. People just arent that bad in real life, and most of the kids in NYC are great. Many kids in the suburbs or parts of the city that have money have an attraction to these kinds of movies becuase of some insecurities of their own, and want to be a part of this urban culture because of something that they are missing in their own lives. I guess this movie had a message that people are bad in many cases, but overall it is a movie that doesn't have one likeable character or moment. If you felt good after this movie or thought it was "the bomb" then you have problems and should go see a doctor, or simply get a life.

Summary: witless drivel
Review: This pointless shockfest rubs the viewers face in every kind of ugliness to no real point. I was offended that the arty soundtrack and editing tried to make this dog look like a sophisticated film. It only made me want to take a shower. Get a real movie about disturbed teens like River's Edge, but don't waste your time on this trash.

Summary: fiction or reality?
Review: After reading the reviews of many on kids,... I dont find anything in the movie to be a surprise. Raves, extacy, sex, drugs and drinking stretch further than the "non-parent" city youths shown in the movie. Its everywhere. Anyone who thinks this movie is "shocking" or not right in any way needs to get out of thier bubble and look around. Kids smoke weed, drink, do drugs, smoke blunts, eat extacy and have sex. Its just taboo in some areas. But, to most teenagers thats just reality.

Summary: Oh yes,it is true!
Review: Well,what more is there left to say after so many briliant reviews but that this is not a fictious film-it's the blunt truth! I have been living in Brooklyn for 3 years now (I grew up in "rather safe" Germany) and came across those kind of teenagers more than once.On a trip to NY in '96 I met one kid (and his boys) who was the typical "Telly" boy-maybe even worse what drugs concern-but the same "no-future" attitude and always present violence.Needless to say we lost contact-after he got locked up for pushing E!This movie is not saying ALL kids are like that-but they exist!

Summary: A True Life
Review: Yup, this is true to life. Like most Teenagers nowadays, this is what we live. I come fromthe same type place as the setting in Kids, and it reminds me of the world i live in, Real,This is real. For people who disagree and say we do not live like this. Hah open your eyes. This movie is perfect in its way to find the truth. The drugs, sex, fighthing, is almost perfect. This movie is amazing in more than one way.

Review: This movie paints a picture of what goes on in the lives of kids all across the nation daily. This is a must see movie for many parents. Your kids may be faced with many of these decisions every day. It portrays some of the pressure for teens in a modern society. You need to see this movie and thoroughly understand it.

Summary: A shocking piece of reality
Review: Kids is a shocking piece of reality that was directed by Larry Clark. It follows some New York teenagers around for the 24 hours. What follows are unscripted, raw, and sexually explicit images. This movie got me thinking about most of the kids that I hung out with in high school and how most of them ended up screwing up their lives. One of the kids that I hung out with ended up dead. For those who get easily offended especially by sexual images(the main reason why KIDS is rated NC-17) please stay away from this movie. For those who want to change the direction that today's teenagers are going, I recommend this movie(especially to show in high school sex education classes). For parents, PLEASE watch this movie with your pre-teen or teenager.

Summary: KIDS-as reviewed by Mike Kettinger
Review: Kids is an extremely fascinating story of a day in the life of two teenagers(Telly and Casper)in New York city. Their ordinary day is one that includes drinking, drugs, parties, shoplifting, fighting, and sex. The two best friends make their way around the city going from one place to the next finding more trouble to get into without even knowing that one of them(Telly) has AIDS. When a girl who he had sex with a year earlier was tested for STDs, she found out that she and Telly both were infected. She races around the city in search of Telly to find him before he continues his hobby of devirginizing girls throughout the rest of movie.
