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.
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?

Okay, I got to say, I did love this movie. I know that it's been criticized but I liked it alot. I thought that Brandon Baker was *ADORABLE* in it and Jessica Alba has become one of my current favorite actresses and she's good in my book along with Kristen Kruek. But it's a good kids movie, something that my little brothers might enjoy, so it has my approval
I liked it! Loved it! It's a great movie about teammwork and friendship. The P.U.N.K.S. is about five kids, leader Drew, overweight Lanny, con artist Johnny, nerd Miles, and tomboy Samantha. The P.U.N.K.S. which isn't a gang or anything P.U.N.K.S. stands for to Protect the Underdog with Nerve, Knowledge, and Strength. PUNKS, get it? Anyways, Drew's father works for CRAP Crow Resources And Protection. HIs father (Randy Quaid) is making an Augmentor, it powers up the nervous system to make one strong. Drew is always let down by his father by broken promises, so for his birthday he invites Drew and Miles to the company to hang out. Miles somewhat accidentally gets into the files, but cant get a password. That's where Johnny comes in. They use Drew's garage where his father use to work for CRAP as there headquarters, you can get into the files and everything. They get into the files and find out that Crow's assisstant has changed the Augmentor, and if u keep it on you for 20 minutes 9 out of 10 chances it will fry your whole nervous, and if you have a heart condition, which Drew's father has, it could kill you in 5. So they decide to steal the Augmentor, but CRAP has mega security. That's where Johnny's cousin Samantha comes in. She is the expert breaking and entering person. They steal it successfully BUT Crow has a double. I'm not going to tell the whole movie, rent it and watch. I give P.U.N.K.S. 8.5/10!
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.
