Rating: Summary: An eye-opener Review: As a teen, I totally related to the movie. It was an eye-opener to see that sex, drugs, and alcohol aren't all that cool. I watched it with a group of friends, and I was the only one that thought of it as a wake-up call. I would recommend to your teen, but only if he/she is very mature. I think this is a wake-up call to everybody, because teens really do go through this stuff in life, no matter where you live. An excellent movie.
Rating: Summary: This movie is SO real it's scary Review: I first saw this movie on Cinemax late at night. I had no idea what the hell it was going to be about but i figured...hey what the heck. When it started out, it just looked like some dumb, hella fake movie with no point. But as i kept watching it, I saw how true to life this movie really was. Take it from a teen himself...this really shocked me. It was very good. I liked it so much, that i bought it. And you don't see me buying very many movies.
Rating: Summary: Thought prokoving Review: This film totally blows me away. Growing up in New York City is an absolutely unique experience. I knew plenty of kids like this and the fact that this was filmed where I grew up make it hit home even harder. For the people who Didn't like this film they are just not looking hard enough. This is almost a documentary, and should be seen as the example for all other cities in America to avoid. There are some very tough issues that "Kids" deals with in a most refreshingly honest way.
Rating: Summary: Heavy Stuff Review: This movie showed me what I knew and is a good tool to show kids how dangerous of a world it is out there.
Rating: Summary: The real thing, a day in the life of an average teen. Review: PARENTS KEEP YOUR EYE'S OPEN!! You may not like the truth, but this is what your son/daughter's life might be like. Even though it's tough to soak in, it's happening, and there's NO way to avoid it. This movie is has an excellent way of showing all the posibilities. You CAN'T ignore it. Although it may be very graphic, it's a lesson well tought that all people need to accept into their society and lives, sex can't be hidden!!
Rating: Summary: horrifying but well done Review: this movie is a bad trip. it is very difficult to watch. Nothing is scarier than the truth.
Rating: Summary: this is a must see! Review: this movie was so powerful.It makes you think about life a lot more. I think any teen shoud watch this. I thought I knew a lot about teens lives, but that changed after I watched this.
Rating: Summary: High shock value; Low moral value Review: A well devoloped but irresponsible movie, I was angry when I first watched it. I couldn't believe what these 'kids' were doing and the attitude they had about it. Whether it was teen sex, alcohol, drugs, lying to parents, or viciously ganging up and beating on people, the kids had a no-consequence attitude that scared me. The documentary/home movie style filming gave it an absolute realism to the characters.It's not what I consider educational, and no child should ever watch it (I saw it at age 21). To its credit, however, it intrigued me so much I ended up watching it again. I admit that it keeps your attention like almost nothing else, and that's why the three stars. One star for the message it sends (unless you're mature enough to see through the superficial behavior by the end). Five stars because of its originality and ability to hold your attention in disbelief of what you're watching.
