SLC Punk

[Beaver]

Anyone else seen this movie? I wasn't sure what to expect, but I thought it was great. I'm not a punk type of person either. Mathew Lillard was great as the lead character. I recommend it.

I thought the movie sucked.....until the very end of it.

What I mean, is that I thought it was a serious look at what was "punk", but at the end when he talks about how deluded he was (basically how fake he was), it really made me like this flick.

The Swedish dude was hilarious, and so was his "nerdy" friend that would beat down anyone who talked ****.

it was ok

... not too accurate look at early 80's American punk.
It's true - there's lotsa "used to be" punks.

I thought the movie was great since that was me in high school.

My thoughts exactly I actually appreciate it more after seeing it several times, I enjoy it more every timeI see it.

Ha! It was hard for me to relate. I lived in a very small town in Oregon during the time this film was set and the punk scene did not come close to making it there. Although I did dress up as a punk rocker for Halloween in 1986 (7th grade).
