Review of Kids

Kids (1995)
1/10
shock value, pretty much nothing else

I figured this was going to be a brutal movie since the person who referred it to me also referred Man Bites Dog (which I enjoyed).

Look, this would easily have gone from a dumb, vile, pointless waste of time shock movie to a must watch if there was any sort of resolve at the end. Or better yet if these kids just got their asses whooped like they probably would in reality.

You know those arty stupid films that don't know how to wrap up a plot so they just suddenly END? That's how this one goes. Any hint of plot you might pick up ends up just being an illusion.

There's a lot of buildup for the female main character that goes NOWHERE. Instead she goes to sleep, gets another pile of bricks dumped on her and the movie ends.

So basically if you feel like going back to junior high and listening to a bunch of posers talk about getting laid and busting caps for 2 hours, watch this.
