Editorial Review: Description: When Holden Donovan finds himself expelled for criticizing school policy, he enlists a diverse group of rebellious classmates to take a stand. With a hilarious brand of activism, Holden leads the fight against power hungry Principal Weller and the forces of high school hypocrisy. Based on true stories, Kids in America boasts an impressive cast of established stars and hot new talent in a powerfully funny film that the teenager in everyone can relate to. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Extremism in the defense of liberty is, in fact, a vice...Borderline propaganda thinly disguised as entertainment... This movie is so preachy and politically heavy-handed, that after watching it you'll feel like you've been socked in the jaw by Michael Moore. The gist of the movie is that the "hero" kids want to dictate how and what they're taught in school, particularly regarding sex education. Sort of defeats the purpose of education if the kids are so convinced they already have all the answers, but this irony/hypocrisy is apparently lost ...

First of all it portrays a crowd of conformists..Whenever ever everyone thinks a lot...NO ONE THINKING... These are ...

Like the slightly smarter and more realistically presented Pump Up the Volume, Kids in America delves deep into the root of a major issue, a principal who has nothing but her own interests and future as a superintendant in mind. Unlike Pump whose high school population only really becomes active at the end, Kids' high school's students get ... Read More Rating:  - Kids in AmericaI loved this movie I am huge fan of Julie Bowen and she was fantastic in the movie Also the cast of students were really GREAT The movie was a lot of fun for me and the commentary track made it worthwhile to own rather than to rent Rating: - good drama,.. not a comedy as the case suggests.I think maybe the film studio at the last second wanted to attempt to sell this film as an "american pie". It's sad because this film is not about laughing at potty humor. It's about the never ending fight against tyrannical conservatism. Only the fight here is set in a high school. Based on real life events where students were suspended or expelled from school for no valid reason. (such as giving out condoms or expressing themselves in non-conservative ways.) Despite the unfunny jokes ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
