Review of Kids (2011) by Derek D — 26 Aug 2012

Whether it's Clark's excuse to film child porn or his attempt to portray the "real lives" of teenagers, this film fails on all fronts. While the acting is pretty good, that can mostly be attributed to the actors pretty much portraying either themselves or people they have known.

It's an ambitious bit of filmmaking, but it's certainly not a wake-up call to the world; it's a wake-up call to parents and gives such people a reason to be even more restrictive on their kids.

As a kid watching this, it was interesting and a good movie. As a parent myself, it's scary and unneccessary in a lot of ways.
