Best Sex Education Film Ever Made, 21 July 2006
10/10
Author: townhousemanila from Manila / Boracay Island, Philippines

I think "KIDS" should be shown and be a requirement in every school across the nation since it's simply the best, most realistic film ever made about teenagers' attitudes and behavior about sex. When I watched it the first time in 95 or 96 I was so impressed with the cast, the script and dialog and the way the plot developed. I knew Rosario Dawson would be "discovered" after "KIDS" since her sensuous looks would captivate most men, any age. I was happy when I noticed that she'd been cast in Men in Black 2 because I knew she was on her way to a long big screen career. Harmony is such a great role model for independent film makers and producers and his attention to day to day reality and how most people really talk deserves to be applauded.
