Product: Kids (1995)
Rating: 5.0
almost too realistic
there was alot of hype that this movie built up for itself before i finally came around and seen it. everyone was telling me that this was a really jacked up movie and they were right. they should show this movie in health classes in high school as a freakin wake up call.the actors/actresses in this movie are relatively unknown to me. i have never seen them in any other movies that i can think of off the top of my head. that just added even more to the realism of the story. all the characters are like people other people really know. about half the people in the story i could see replacing with my friends because that is how they act. all the conversations they held were just like the conversations me and my friends had back in high school.this movie is a little graphic, but that is how it is supposed to be. that is how it catches peoples attentions. if people say that this type of stuff doesn't really go on then they need to get their heads out of the closet for a second and look around.overall, this is one of the best movies i have seen in a while. it is one of those eye openning movies that you really can't unsee, but you wouldn't want to. i don't recommend this movie to anyone that is easily offended to an extended dirty vocabulary, but i do recommend this for just about everyone else. from the looks of it, this is a movie that you will either love or hate, not too much in between. chances are you are either gonna like the way you can relate to a story like this, or you are going to hate it because it stereotypes delinquent adolecent kids, or for the way they did the camera shots. i loved the movie for all these reasons.
