4.0 out of 5 stars Stick With It, March 10, 2006
This review is from: Kids in America (DVD)
I almost turned this off during the first five minutes, as the jokes were obvious and painfully unfunny, the budget was glaringly low, and the dialogue didn't ring true. I was thinking about winging an email to Roger Ebert, who liked it, asking him what was he thinking.

But for some reason I stuck with it, and I ended up liking it a LOT. True, a lot of the jokes throughout the rest of the movie were still bad, but I also laughed out loud more than a few times. Moreover, the movie's simply a lot of fun, with smart politics--objectionable only to Neanderthals--and a cast full of recognizable faces. Though I had to go to IMDB to figure out that the Oriental actress, Emy Coligado, who is obviously too old for this high school kid role, plays Piama on "Malcolm in the Middle."

Be sure to check out the outtakes on the DVD. On many DVDs these would consist of a lot of lame, unfunny mugging for the camera, but many of the outtakes on here are actually pretty good. Julie Bowen is particularly funny, singing that cameltoe song, and explaining why she "hates" Angelina Jolie: "She has a big chest, big lips, skinny legs, and she's philanthropic. I'm a selfish, flat-chested, big-assed bitch."

5.0 out of 5 stars A most entertaining movie, March 18, 2006
By John Hutchinson (Leeds, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Kids in America (DVD)
I bought this DVD on the strength of Gregory Smith being in it, and I have to say that Gregory does not disappoint.Neither does the rest of the film.The movie is most enjoyable, and in some places, rather reminiscent of that glorious TV series from the early 1990's Parker Lewis Can't Lose, except with rather more serious content and intention.

Amd what can I say about Gregory Smith that has not been said before?This young man is a most wonderful and natural performer, and I certainly look forward to many years of seeing his work in the movies and on TV.

Excellent effort all round

5.0 out of 5 stars good drama,.. not a comedy as the case suggests., August 20, 2006
This review is from: Kids in America (DVD)
I think maybe the film studio at the last second wanted to attempt to sell this film as an "american pie". It's sad because this film is not about laughing at potty humor. It's about the never ending fight against tyrannical conservatism. Only the fight here is set in a high school. Based on real life events where students were suspended or expelled from school for no valid reason. (such as giving out condoms or expressing themselves in non-conservative ways.)

Despite the unfunny jokes that were probebly injected by the end of production to sell it as a comedy,.. this is an enjoyable film with the students sticking it to the ( beautiful, oddly casted) ice queen principal.

But for me this film had the shiny jewel of an adorable unknown actress Stephanie Sherrin (playes the cute red-head and romantic interest of the male lead character.) I couldn't take my eyes off of her.

The five or six minute long kiss scene during the credits is cool too.
