Movie doesn't deal with the issues
While this movie brings to light some important social issues, it never goes deep enough and certainly offers no solutions. KIDS wants to shock us by showing underage sex and drug use, yet does little more. Where is the writer going with this? Does he simply want us to be a voyeur to the troubled teens in this film? I first saw this movie when I was 15 and I thought it was completely over-hyped and your average teenager is not acting the way those in the movie do. Today I feel the same way. It's an unrealistic portrayal that doesn't go beneath the surface to explore the character's intentions.
