Sick Product of a Sick System

A brilliant film that helped define a genre

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This turned out like an extended version of a Boy Meets World episode with more content related to my actual life. And it's significantly less corny. But the character development is nothing compared to the original SLC which may have to do a lot to do with it being told in 3rd person. It's also a road trip film and if you read Chuck Klosterman's take on road trip films, this is spot on and the film isn't about the anything other than an interpersonal character growth/reflection. I think the punk aspect is mostly an aesthetic and not very necessary to to the overall story, unfortunately. A lot seemed forced to make this happen, and as a fan of SLC Punk, I appreciate the attempt.

SLC Punk is a great coming of age movie focused on after college life, through the eyes of modern day rebels. This movie is focused on parenthood punks and high school punks, it does the original movie justice. Cinematography and editing are off different from original, not that classic feel. In any case, really good movie and dialog touches and goes to interesting places. A good sequel for the budget.

I was glad when it was over.I wonder why anyone would make such a listless movie.The characters each seem indulgent yet none are developed to the point where they provide any interest.The usefulness of a car ride as a sort of journey device is marginalized by the redundant and boring settings.The production value is mix and match mediocre.The narrator's bad acting is creepier than the creepiness of employing a dead narrator character.The climax of the story is not even anti climatic, but at least you know the end is near.

I loved this movie! I saw the Orlando release on opening night and I wasn't really sure what expect. I adored the first one so much and sequels aren't usually known for being as good as the original, but like Heroin Bob would've recommended, I gave it a chance. **SPOILERS** If you grew up thinking that being a punk or a mod or whatever was just a phase and once you hit a certain point, you have to grow out of it, this movie is for you. Why can't you still give in to your passions and just adjust them to your adult life? The film follows Heroin Bob's goth offspring soon after his first heartbreak, on a road trip with his friends, Crash and Penny, to a punk show. Meanwhile, his still odd mom, Trish, is calling her old friends to find out where her son is and why he'd suddenly dropped his straight edge sensibilities and gone AWOL. a lot of your old favorites are back and there all plenty of call backs to the original to give you a nice laugh and let you feel that nostalgia. Its really just a day of self discovery, and even though bob is dead, his narration is almost like he's watching over Ross. it wasn't the original with new characters, it was something different, which is part of its appeal. the old characters i loved are older and different, but they still enjoy their eccentricities, they didn't turn their backs on them, and i think its what i love most. it makes the idea of growing out of something feel ridiculous. punk has no age limit. don't go in expecting slc punk. that time is over. punk's dead is what happens when the scene has changed and you're the older statesman of it, relaying the history to the younguns, OR the new kid just coming out to experience your own scene. just one piece of advice: GIVE IT A CHANCE. its new.
