now don't get me wrong..i love punk music and the cultural and ideals are very eye opening and awe inspiring, and if i were to choose myself a stereotype, it would be punk, but this movie really does nothing for me. i mean especially after seeing classics like repo man and suburbia. i mean it just doesnt capture the same atmosphere as the punk films from the 80's. to me, matt lilliard looked more like an offspring poser over an 80's true punker. heroine bob was defiantely the best character in the film.

anyways, i find this film to be more of an emotional glance at the punk scene and growing up rather than a film about beating the system to a pulp and living for the moment.  like i would say it has very little attitude of punk as the movie titanic did with the actual history of the incident.  maybe it is just the utah scene though??

anyways, if you are into movies about friendships and growing up, this movie is a definite, but if you are more into attitude of punk check out suburbia and repo man. sadly to say, this is a movie for the hot topic generation.

this is to the 80's punk scene as forrest gump is to the 60's and 70's. not bad, but not too great.
