One of my favorite movies of all time. Brings back fond memories of my punk phase back in the mid-eighties. Well maybe I was more of a poser or a new-waver but I did some serious punk (Dead Kennedy's, Black Flag, Sex Pistols, etc.) for a while there. This movie is a must see for anyone who enjoyed the punk scene or perhaps just chuckled at it. The documentary style of filming makes it fun and the plot and story are very good. The characters are absolutely fantastic and endearing. Matthew Lillard is extremely convincing in his role and really shows some great acting (Shaggy who?). This is most definitely a 2-THUMBS-WAY-UP flick as well as a 2-middle-fingers-way-up at the establishment piece... or is it????
Great movie first off and then non-famous actor Matthew Lillard comes in on a key role that will live on long after when hes still around making the "made for ESPN movies" in the near future. This is the history/bio of main character Stevo and his group of friends who find the punk scene making alot more sense through the early years of post-high school but not to senseable come adulthood. A great view on the scene from a director/writer who was actually there and explains it in both sides so no matter who happens to view this flix...it makes sense to all. Yes theres hidden Smiths references and Adam Ant lookalikes within here as well for the 80s scene kids, dont worry...there are PLENTLY. Overall this movie goes on my top 10 list on any day...and if your a new friend of mine, be WARNED- you WILL be watching it in the near future. CCRead full review

I REMEMBER PICKING THIS UP FOR THE FIRST TIME AT THE LOCAL VIDEO STORE WHEN I WAS IN HIGH SCHOOL AND KNEW VERY LITTLE ABOUT PUNK MUSIC...IT WAS STARTING TO BECOME AN OBSESSION OF MINE. I WATCHED THIS VIDEO WITH ALL MY FRIENDS AND IT BECAME PART OF OUR CLASSIC MOVIES TO WATCH WHILE WE HUNG OUT AND DRANK, DIED OUR HAIR, PARTIED, ETC. IT STILL TAKES ME BACK TO THOSE GOOD OLD DAYS WHEN I WAS JUST TOO "PUNK". THE MAIN CHARACTER IS PLAYED BY MATTHEW LILLIARD WHO IS A VERY GOOD ACTOR, AND AN ACTUAL REAL PUNK ROCKER IN REAL LIFE...HE HATES HIS TOWN, FEELS MISUNDERSTOOD, GETS WAY CAUGHT UP IN THE WHOLE PUNK SCENE WHEN IT WAS REALLY EXPLODING BACK IN THE 80'S, AND TELLS A STORY OF REGRET, FRIENDSHIP AND REALIZING WHO YOU ARE. THIS IS SUCH A FILM FOR EVERYONE, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WERE EVER A PUNK! GREAT MUSIC TOO!!Read full review
A little too liberal and cringe inducing how the characters classify everything that’s remotely right wing or normal as “fascist nazi” without even knowing what those words mean, but I love punk music and the scene in that time. Very authentic, well shot and edited. Funny quirky interesting compelling characters.
