Kidulthood

Extreme Teen film very well made and directed! Dealing with the streets of the U.K. this film was impressing in that it kept your attention from beginning to end. No doubt filled with controversy and plagued with foul language this film deals with suicide, drugs, sex and all of the temptations out there tempting our youth today. An interesting take as a U.S. viewer to see many of the same problems in England. One of the main actors (to the best of my knowledge) also directed this. Not one I would recommend for Children but worth watching for sure. A few parts will make you cringe especially if you are a parent. Thanks for reading :)

One girl is a slut, the other is a stressed out pregnant teen, one kid is a reckless troublemaker, one kid is a sociopathic bully, one girl is suicidal, the last kid is just kind of wandering aimlessly. Typical youth, nothing special about this movie, many better American made choices.

Kidulthood is another film that makes people want to see it, by advertising a star that's in it for all of five minutes, Nick Hoult of Skins, About A Boy, and X-Men fame. He's the reason I gave this film a chance, because honestly, the plot isn't really something that interests me. This film is so far out there and so strange, that I can't even tell you what it's about! A bullied girl in a London high school kills herself and the kids get time off from school. After that the story splinters into a million different pieces of kids running wild in the streets of London and most of it makes absolutely no sense. Kidulthood tries to become the British version of Boyz In The Hood, but completely fails. The British gangstas, aren't exactly gangsta, and things move so unbelievably fast that it's impossible to keep track of who is who and who is doing what. To sum it all up, there's no real plot, meaning there isn't much of a point to this movie. There are also far too many characters, many of whom look a like, and very few that can actually act worth a damn. Kidulthood is one big blur of violence and F-bombs without a theme, a plot, or a point. This is just another example of a movie that tries to attract people with foul language, unnecessary violence, and a marquis name that barely makes a cameo. It's a complete waste of two hours!
