P.U.N.K.S.

When I saw the box for this film at Blockbuster, I knew it was a cool film for kids, not about gangs or street punks. I liked the way the kids formed their club and took on the bad dude (Henry Winkler). It was very funny and the girl who played Samantha was a babe. The action scenes were as good as the funny stuff. I liked seeing kids from some of my other favorite films in it. I rented it again to show my friends and they liked it too. You should get it.

Don't think this is a movie about "punks", not even a violent movie, this is totally "kid's stuff", but for not very bright kids. The movie is about a bunch of kids (as usual, one is a nerd, one is a fat boy, one is a thief, one is the leader, and the other, a girl, so we have "all kinds") who join to prevent the death of the father of the leader, a scientist developing a "muscular enhancer", so the kids turn out to be : a) smart enough to understand a biological-scientifical experiment and its consequences, b) with the skills to break in to a lab with the highest-technology security, c) with the knowledge and skills to use computers as real hackers, among a lot of other things.

So, the result is a boring movie, with bad kid actors, no angel, no fun, nothing else to say. Avoid it, even if you want a child's movie, or if you thought this would be sort of "KIDS" or anything a bit heavier, cause of the title PUNKS (as I thought).

Crow Research And Production is the name of a company that has developed a device that stimulates the nervous system and muscles. While the creator of this device lives in the delusion that it will bring a revolution in the treatment of people in wheelchairs, his company actually plans to sell it on the black market for the purpose of creating super-soldiers. But his son and his son's friends from primary school are there to expose the villains and steal the device in order to protect nerds from school bullies.

Linear, naive, and even stupid script, Nickelodeon level of acting and production ... Honestly, it is crap, a nuance above the level of "Mighty Morphin Power Rangers" from the nineties. And again, I have to be honest, I had a good time and, as this is a film for children, I think it is more important than objective qualities. Plus Jessica Alba in her sweet sixteen ...

5/10

When i saw the trailer for this movie i thought it looked like such a stupid film. But after seeing it i was totally suprised by the result. It may not make much sense but it was very enjoyable just like movies should be. I mean it had pretty bad acting and a pretty bad story but atleast you don't leave the movie thinking that you just wasted two hours of your life. So if you want to see a funny enjoyable movie, with the young but still hott jessica alba, johnny tsunami, and that kid from the big green, then here's a good one for you. This movie is not bad and it will suprise you if you think it is. And don't expect to be confused at any point in the movie...

This movie was so stupid but so fun. We couldn't stop laughing at the theme song "We are the Punks". That fat kid from the Sandlot should of been Golden Globe nominated. When he got that super strength in the bar it was so cool. The Fanz gives an OK performance, but i think he might of been miscast. Randy Quaid does his normal good job. Kids will love this movie. IT teaches kids about friendship, and how to ride a bike on the freeway. Look for Jessica Alba before she made it big. Overall B-.
