Kids in America (2005)

Kids in America: Directed by Josh Stolberg. With Gregory Smith, Stephanie Sherrin, Chris Morris, Caitlin Wachs. A diverse group of high school students band together to peacefully stick it to their overbearing principal.

“Itu0026#39;s an interesting and entertaining film about high school kids rebelling against their principal. But unfortunately all their causes are filtered through the liberal Hollywood writeru0026#39;s viewpoint without much respect for any alternative views. The kids gripe about the hypocrisy of authority without ever addressing their own. A mass same sex kissing scene involving dozens of teens will offend many – maybe most – viewers. The film might have been very effective without that, but as it is, it turns away anyone who doesnu0026#39;t agree with the agenda without a chance to win them over. In spite of good acting by Gregory Smith and others, the comedy and other good qualities of the film donu0026#39;t overcome that. At least, if youu0026#39;re not homophobic or offended by condoms, you can enjoy it as a light comedy.”
