SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?
i must have seen a different film!!
Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
To be fair, this is a film targeted towards children, but that's no reason why what could have been an okay story had to be dumbed down into this. It was just stupid; I hated it when I was six years old and I still hate it now. It got a lot of hype in the past for starring Jessica Alba, but I think her performance in this was talentless and overrated. Louan Gideon and Henry Winkler were the only two actors in 'PUNKS' who I even thought were tolerable. It's a never-ending ridiculous plot, crass jokes (the "poupon" comments the boy makes, the acronym C.R.A.P., etc.) which tried to be edgy but just came across as immature and dopey, the bad soundtrack, the sheer intolerable nerdiness of the main cast, and of course the story itself, which holds absolutely no suspense, comedy, drama or really any redeeming qualities whatsoever.
This movie was so stupid but so fun. We couldn't stop laughing at the theme song "We are the Punks". That fat kid from the Sandlot should of been Golden Globe nominated. When he got that super strength in the bar it was so cool. The Fanz gives an OK performance, but i think he might of been miscast. Randy Quaid does his normal good job. Kids will love this movie. IT teaches kids about friendship, and how to ride a bike on the freeway. Look for Jessica Alba before she made it big. Overall B-.
I liked it! Loved it! It's a great movie about teammwork and friendship. The P.U.N.K.S. is about five kids, leader Drew, overweight Lanny, con artist Johnny, nerd Miles, and tomboy Samantha. The P.U.N.K.S. which isn't a gang or anything P.U.N.K.S. stands for to Protect the Underdog with Nerve, Knowledge, and Strength. PUNKS, get it? Anyways, Drew's father works for CRAP Crow Resources And Protection. HIs father (Randy Quaid) is making an Augmentor, it powers up the nervous system to make one strong. Drew is always let down by his father by broken promises, so for his birthday he invites Drew and Miles to the company to hang out. Miles somewhat accidentally gets into the files, but cant get a password. That's where Johnny comes in. They use Drew's garage where his father use to work for CRAP as there headquarters, you can get into the files and everything. They get into the files and find out that Crow's assisstant has changed the Augmentor, and if u keep it on you for 20 minutes 9 out of 10 chances it will fry your whole nervous, and if you have a heart condition, which Drew's father has, it could kill you in 5. So they decide to steal the Augmentor, but CRAP has mega security. That's where Johnny's cousin Samantha comes in. She is the expert breaking and entering person. They steal it successfully BUT Crow has a double. I'm not going to tell the whole movie, rent it and watch. I give P.U.N.K.S. 8.5/10!
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.
