This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of the coolest, thought provoking films ever !!! Matt is brilliant in this movie that showcases the punk

lifestyle that he and his cohorts live by. The movie is funny, stylish and as different a movie that you'll ever

see. I tip my hat to Matt for his brilliance and nailing a role that many actors wouldn't be able to. SLC Punk is

an instant classic. At the end of the movie Matt decides to relinquish the punk lifestyle.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. MY FAVORITE MOVIE!

SLC Punk is my favorite movie. I missed it in the theater, but bought it on VHS as soon as it came out and after I made the jump to DVD and had worn out the tape, I picked up the disc. Matthew Lillard is one of the few actors who can get me to a screen just because he's in something, and this is his finest work. I enjoy the fresh dialog, often delivered as asides, (I've always enjoyed asides) and the subtle jokes paying homage to John Hughes, Spinal Tap etc. The entire film is essentially Stevo(Lillard) building a case, attourney style, for himself to grow up and abandon his old beliefs, which he slowly realizes are no longer his.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It's not very often that a film comes along and grabs you and takes you through that emotional roller coaster, and when your done...you look around and say hey fighting against the system is just as superficial as being passe about the life you live. Lillard and Company nail the angle of the young teens in great angst and struggling to live the lives they want despite what others have planed for them. The director (who says that the inspiration for the movie comes from past stories) also besides approaching issues that allow the characters to have their own opinions he also allows them to grow-up as the film develops. It ends in my opinion as a much finer coming-of-age movie than the top dollar movies like good will hunting. I don't feel that everyone will enjoy this movie as much as I did, but at the least you should laugh and cry with the characters. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Character error When Stevo is introducing people at the party, he introduces Jennifer and says "She's got this brother, his name's Chris. He's this death-rock, punk guy..." and when Chris is introduced later in the film, Stevo hugs him and describes him as a "total hippie". Expand

I can't even imagine the type of people that are giving this film high ratings. Some critics have said that the redeeming factor of the movie is Lillard's perfomance. I couldn't disagree more. Lillard is just as annoying and I can't even imagine the type of people that are giving this film high ratings. Some critics have said that the redeeming factor of the movie is Lillard's perfomance. I couldn't disagree more. Lillard is just as annoying and over the top here as he is any of the movies in his pathetic catalogue. An altogether awful film, in the same territory as any Nora Ephron effort. Avoid unless you are a seriously depressed person who dyes your hair blue and worships punk music. Expand

The production value is high with a talented cast and some interesting scenes props, costumes and makeup.Matthew lilliards distractingly animated performance took away more than it added to the outing. There are some fun character acting moments spread throughout but it ultimately failed to connect with me on any meaningful level beyond the superficial....which was ironic! Expand
