A gritty look at life as a teen in New York. KIDS is a fun, intimate and sometimes scary look at life as a teen in New York. This well made film is a classic from my teenage years and I’m happy to be able to rediscover it as an adult. The copy I purchased is in great condition for its age. It’s hard to find this movie anymore and eBay was just the right place to look.

This is a very interesting movie. Directed by Larry Clark this movie takes a look at the lives of several teenagers living in a big city. Not intended for younger children, this movie has drug use, sex, violence, and rape. It is a shocking wake up call for the world and I highly recommend it. I bought this movie becuse I remember seeing it ages ago(actually I recorded it on my scrambled HBO channel =D )and I enjoyed it very much. Anyone who is thinking about purchasing this movie be warned it is graphic but well worth the price of admission.

I saw this movie years ago on TV. When I started watching it, I couldn't stop. It makes you cry and makes your heart hurt to know that this is the way alot of our children and youth are acting. As someone already stated, it is good, educational, and distubing at the same time. But it is a movie that I do believe that our teenagers should be watching. As I was growing up, this type of stuff was just not discussed. I refuse to do the same for my children. We can't just tell our children not to do something and leave it at that, we have to be all up in our children and teenagers business, because they are getting pregnant younger and younger. They are having sex and not knowing what they are doing, and if we are not teaching our children, then the media will teach them. So we have to really look at what will help our children and youth. But don't try to sugar coat it, because the youth these days already know alot, and we have to be honest with them, and be real with them if we want to catch their attention. And this movie is defenately an attention catcher. It woke me up as a youth, and I am sure that it will help many other youth as well. It is pretty explicit and loads of profanity, but it is not like they don't hear it everyday anyway, if not on TV, then in the music, and sometimes even in the home, even though you think they don't. Young people hear everything!!! Even when you think they are not around. So if that is a deciding factor, I would say go for it!! All teenagers need to see this movie!! It may change their life.Read full review
It is an Amazing Movie that tells the truth, I didn't used to get it when I watched it in my youth but I got the idea you have to watch sexual behavior wise with women and MEN need to be watched even more. I got the Always use Condoms No MATTER WHAT idea and it truly thought more then my school did in my youth. I think schools need to show this movie for real life because it can happen anywhere like that not just inner city like it was teaching, it happened a whole different way but same thing in my country town. Must watch I truly believe we are a uneducated because when we teach we don't let the kids know the truth, the reality on how it happens and can happen, this Shows REAL LIFE and I believe it can help Millions more if used right ! I'm a Adult now and need to use more precautions but this would have helped my friends in there youth understand the things needed to do if they are doing something before they are married.Read full review
