For anyone who has ever seen "The Secret World of Alex Mack" on Nickelodeon, Louan Gideon played the evil CEO of a chemical plant. She's back, and she's playing 2nd-in-command of a corrupt technological research lab. John Nielsen, also from the above show, returns. The movie stars Henry Winkler as the notorious Mr. Crow, who has designed a machine which enhances the immune system and gives its wearer incredible strength. Enter Drew (Tim Redwine), whose father is a scientist at CROW Research.
Drew's father believes that the machine is to help people overcome their physical disabilities, but Mr. Crow actually intends to sell it to foreign nations as a machine for the "ultimate soldier." As well, the machine fries anyone's immune system if worn for more than 20 minutes! Well, Mr. Crow and his assistant Ms. Grimes don't care, and they intend to have Drew's dad wear it -- but he has a heart disease, and it would kill him in 5 minutes flat.
Needless to say, Drew bands together with some less-than-popular friends, intention being to break into CROW and steal the augmentor. Crow wants them destroyed at any cost, though . . . even with all their wits, can the P.U.N.K.S. (their group name) stop the diabolical plot?

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...
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 ...

Maybe the title sound like this is a violence movie. But actually it's not.It is suitable for kids.P.U.N.K.S, if you really watch the movie and hear carefully,you'll know what it means.It doesn't sound like the real "PUNK" word.It means that they want to stop the strong picking up the weaks. And it's not like other movies,where fat kids are always the troublemaker. In this movie,lenny is only concerned about the food he ate(protein and fibre).Not like other movies where not only a fat kid will be the troublemaker,they also act stupid and do all those embarrassing stuff. Same to the computer genius,a girl who is an expert in stealing cars(also unlocking doors) with her cousin.I think this is a cool movie except for the title maybe.
After watching the hit Disney Movie Brink my expectations where pretty high, but P.U.N.K.S. came threw in big strides. Now my favorite character wasn't in the movie very much. I have tried to imitate his life as much as possible. He is the little actor who beat out the main character for president. I believe he can be seen on Malcolm in the Middle and the newest series of All That. This movie is great for parties and I highly recommended this. At first we where all against it but once we watched we laughed and cried.
