“Itu0026#39;s not a high-budget film, and it shows this at times, but thatu0026#39;s to be expected of a film like this. The cast is surprisingly large for a film like this, and really, all the characters are interesting.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eWhatu0026#39;s not usually expected of these types of films is really well-fleshed out characters, and a good honest, thought-provoking, inspiring story. And Varsity Punks delivers on those fronts, with great success.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe title is slightly misleading as their is only one punk-rocker in the movie. And apart from his attitude, and a misfits patch on his jacket, the movie doesnu0026#39;t have much of anything to do with punk.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf you value good character studies and/or a good story over high-production values (with simplistic or unrealistic/hollow stories and characters, then Iu0026#39;d recommend checking it out.”
