I don't care too much for it................a bit too much like an afterschool special, a special they would have to play on HBO do to the content but an afterschool special nonetheless. Okay........kids do drugs.....kids swear.......kids drink.....kids have sex.....we know all of this already so what's the god damned plot? Boring........it's like watching an uncensored version of the Real World......without the acting skills.
but you have to look on those days... the movies was around early 90's, on that era it's something amazing and yet it's done in a movie something that have never been done before...i for one love the movie... yup! it is a powerful movie.. and yet there is a another movie that are similar to kids it's call 'thirteen' if i not mistaken..
cheers mate!!

I remember quite vividly when Kids came out......I was in highschool.......I was the same age as the kids in the film......and I still thought it was retarded. What was amazing about it?
No, I did not like Kids, it was a complete waste of time. He was acting as if this was stuff no-one knew; the message was wasted and beyond that, the plot was simply pointless.
And I reject the argument that it was more powerful at the time. At the time this was exactly what the critics said- pointless. And I thought so too.

The thing I really liked about it was how it showed sex as a tragic event for once. Plus it really showed how easily aids could be spread.
Oh, and if you wanna bring critics into the mix, there's one critic I know of who thought the movie was outstanding..... His names Ebert, maybe you've heard of him
Screw critics..........their opinions do not factor into what movies I watch or like. Just as I'm sure my opinion does not factor into anybody else's movie going habits. Critics are useless........different people like different movies. I don't like Kids....some do. Yay for them.
It will be a cold day in hell when I take some 50+year old guy named Roger Ebert's opinion into advisement when deciding which movie I want to watch. Yeah.....I'm sure he and myself have alot in common. Next I'm going to ask him which gangsta rap albums to buy.
Well......it's true. Do people honestly think that some rich old white guy has the same taste is movies as they do? Do they seriously think his opinions on movies would parallel their own? Some artsy foreign film comes out and he gives it two thumbs and a cock up........doesn't make me want to see it. Ofcourse he probably liked Kids.......he probably thought it was insightful and eye opening. Ofcourse he probably really didn't know that kids do have sex, do drugs, and curse. They didn't do that kind of stuff in 1954 when he went to high school. To everybody else on the planet who has been young sometime within the past 30 years.........it wasn't insightful because they already knew this stuff.
It wasn't that people didn't know that kids were doing that type of stuff that i cared for. I really liked how it showed how easily aids can spread, cuz it's hard to grasp something like that till you see it.
ebert? be glad you dont have to put up with paul ross, here in the uk !!!!
he'll say anything is a master peice so that he gets £500 if it gets onto the movie poster!
dont belive me?
example,
AND I QUOTE....
"The Scorpion king is my alltive favourite action movie!!"
this guy even liked Gilgi!!!!!
