Unforgettable...But not neccesarily a great movie.
Now I must start out by saying this is not the best movie ever made nor the worst. However,it is really hard to forget.LeoFitzpatrick in a horrible,but again unforgettable performance plays Telly,a punk kid whose life revolves around deflowering young,extremely young virgins.Now besides the fact he is deflowering 12 year old girls and certain things like that,he also has HIV and doesn't realize it.The person who comes to realize this is Jenny(Academy Award Nominee Chloe Sevigny"Best Supporting Actress "Boys Don't Cry") who tests positive for the virus from her one night with Telly. Now after the opening scene which features Telly with a twelve year old girl buttering her up to get in her pants,he goes out to meet his friend Casper and they go shoplift some beer and end up at a flophouse.Telly then tells Casper he has his eyes set on yet another virgin named Darcy.Meanwhile we have Jenny searching the streets trying to stop Telly before he spreads the virus.Now people may ask how Telly has HIV when all he likes is virgins.Well,could it possibly be because one of the girls wasn't a virgin? I'm just sayin'. Anyway the film is well written but takes too long to get to the point.The ending of the film is so genuinely sick that it's almost likeable.From the opening sequence to fade out "Kids" in an unforgettable sick film
