Kids is a film that has been misunderstood since its release parents say that it is a kiddy porn film and that it makes no sense or that it does not have a proper ending. Children and teenagers however watch it and think that it is great because every one smokes drinks and has underage sex basically three things that are garuanteed to evoke a positive response from the underage amongst us. The thing about this film however is that it is basically a documentary commenting on the lives of a group of fairly average teenagers because lets face it most kids probably do get up to this kind of thing. If you watch Kids with an open mind you will see a harsh unrelenting look at the truth of the teenage social heierarchy of drink drugs and sex. On the whole a very thrilling film that pulls no punches and gives the topic of aids a new spin that is light years away from tom Hanks in Philadelphia.
