Product: Kids (1995)
Rating: 3.0
Thanks to the teenagers that wrote reviews of this movie.
First, I found the movie just about as distasteful and obscene as most people. I found it shocking and frightening as the father of 2 teenagers.After reading reviews from teenagers, I have definitely decided that my kids will not see this movie. I find it deeply disturbing that some of you glamorize this movie with statements like "Casper Rox" and "Casper rulez, I want him". I think that I can convey the dangers of drugs and unprotected sex to my children without exposing them to this graphic obscenity. I do commend those that watched it and took the shock as an opportunity for a little soul searching and as positive tool for helping them make future life decisions.It may very well be a wakeup for parents that don't believe this can happen, however most of us with teenagers did grow up in the sixties and seventies. The consequences are greater now, but there is nothing new about a percentage of teenagers (and some adults for that matter) only caring about hedonistic instant gratification and escape.If your a parent, I recommend watching this without your kids, prior to making any decisions on whether to watch this with your kids.
