kingpigeon Despite being made sometime in the late 1990's, P.U.N.K.S. looks and feels at least ten years older (a curious music video montage featuring the kids in "Risky Business" Ray Bans causing mayhem on a miniature golf course is straight out of the '80s; a curiouser ZZ Top tribute was likely lost on P.U.N.K.S.'s intended audience). The cinematography is muddy and the sound is washed-out, giving it that undesirable Saturday afternoon UPN quality. In one scene it's painfully obvious that the filmmakers couldn't afford the rights to the Katrina and the Waves song "Walking on Sunshine," so they cobbled their own variation together instead.Typically, kids movies are allowed to get away with more because, hey, kids are stupid! This film is no exception. The adult characters (both good guys and bad) are all buffoons, a chain of various impossibilities move the plot along, and the laws of physics need not apply.But most troubling of all is the film's underlying message: the electronic muscular enhancer device that the kids steal and utilize is, for all intents and purposes, a steroid. However, the morality of using using such a device (to defeat various antagonists) is never questioned in any way, making it a sort of pro-performance-enhancing drugs movie. How odd.And before I lose this thought: The idea of using stun guns repeatedly on adults for laughs is pretty disturbing.Hebephiles will enjoy seeing a young Jessica Alba in various outfits. But even I--I mean, they will be bored by the majority of this overlong film, which should have ended twenty minutes before it actually does.This would have benefited from a DVD commentary track of some sort wherein the makers explained their intentions--or freely and unashamedly admitted that this was just "product." Perhaps such commentary could have been provided by a gaffer or a key grip.

Nin10dofreek GREAT!!!!!!!! incredible!!! I loved it! It's smart funny and... IT'S A DISNEY MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spanner-2 When I saw the box for this film at Blockbuster, I knew it was a cool film for kids, not about gangs or street punks. I liked the way the kids formed their club and took on the bad dude (Henry Winkler). It was very funny and the girl who played Samantha was a babe. The action scenes were as good as the funny stuff. I liked seeing kids from some of my other favorite films in it. I rented it again to show my friends and they liked it too. You should get it.

Natalia Adriana 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.
