thiago s @Thiagostone Jun 25 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom. See more 04/10/2022 The funniest and most original PG-13 comedy ever, LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more 04/10/2020 Kids In America is more than just another teen movie, it's has a message to spread and came together in a very unique way. Principal Weller (Julie Bowen) is running for state superintendent and she wants her school to be perfect. All the troublemakers have been expelled and every little infraction means a long suspension. No one is happy about it, particularly the students, so they do the only thing they can, fight back! This film is based on a culmination of news stories from around the county, that feature students who were suspended for doing nothing more than expressing their first amendment rights. These stories are incorporated into the film and make up the basis for Weller's suspensions. As for the students, their ring leader is Holden Donovan (Gregory Smith), an honor student, and the last person you'd expect to be leading a student rebellion. I've long been a fan of Gregory Smith and this role was a detour from his normal routine. Smith always plays the sweet, lovable characters like Efram in Everwood or Dove in Rookie Blue, he's not known for comedy or for being the rebel. It was an interesting diversion that he pulls off quite well. The film is further supported by Julie Bowen and Nicole Ritchie, who are also playing roles that are out of their comfort zone. Kids In America is unique in that it's a comedy for teens that actually has a positive message. It also features a cast that is playing characters that they don't usually play, making for an even more enjoyable watch. Don't get me wrong I love comedies like Super Bad and 21 & Over, but it was a nice change of pace to see these kids acting out and getting into trouble for a cause, especially one that's near and dear to my heart. See more 04/24/2017 This film is painful. From acting, stereotypes, to music, etc. Very dated, has not aged well. Thinks it's a lot cooler and smarter than it is. SKIP! See more 04/25/2013 with better acting this could've been a decent film, but maybe that's not what the director was aiming for See more 08/18/2012 This movie takes a light and funny approach to a real concern in some high schools - principals and teachers that run their schools with a political agenda. The cast was great and the story was definitely good to watch once. See more Read all reviews
