Overall, Good Kids is an average, uneven, coming-of-age flick with decent performances, serving as a harmless example of the joy of having one last (or rather first) hurrah before entering the next phase of life. Read full review

One could say the mechanical direction leeches the energy out of virtually every sequence, but that would imply there was any there to begin with — and, although the young actors seem likable enough, their characters never credibly come to life. Read full review

Honestly I'm surprised but how much I really enjoyed this. I mean Andy was a real hypocritical POS. But the rest of the crew was cool as hell. Especially Lion, he was the **** I really wish I had that kind of friend when I was in school.

The summer of YES!

It was just like the British film 'Kids in Love' I'd seen prior to this. Explored only on a comedic side. Four friends who have been the ideal kids, after a few years later on one summer, before heading to the college, they have decided to accomplish everything they had missed in their life so far. So it's a time to blend in with what their kind do, but not as easy as it seems. Sometimes everything goes out of their proportion and some of them struggle at beginning itself. Overall, how their summer ends, in that, what they had gained and lost was told.

Written and directed by a newcomer. Really very good try. Good comedies and well performed actors. The four lead characters were unique. The story around them was nicely built. But not they all were equally balanced. Most of the focus was on Nicolas Braun and then Zoey. I kind of felt the scenes were intentionally done, but worth an attempt. Slightly predictable film, which was like any Hollywood teenage flick. At a time a few things stretch beyond our anticipation. Might not be the best teen flick, though worth a watch.

This whole thing felt like one excuse to window-dress a film under the "high school kids who are socially inept and trying to be cool" genre/cliché just so it could squeeze as much sex as possible without much in the way of letting the audience relate with the characters. Then again, whyThis whole thing felt like one excuse to window-dress a film under the "high school kids who are socially inept and trying to be cool" genre/cliché just so it could squeeze as much sex as possible without much in the way of letting the audience relate with the characters. Then again, why should the audience be invested in the first place? The whole thing can be summed up by saying, "Plot scene - sex - plot scene - sex..." Rinse and repeat. Oh, I've loosely used the word "plot" for this context. The poor writing, the unrealistic dialogue, the filler scenes, and boring (sometimes stupidly random) scenarios not only drag the film down to a crawl, but can also be borderline offensive to human races, sexes, and intellect. Dumb teenage comedies can be done both smarter and less offensive than what this film has to offer. I can't recommend it.… Expand
