Viewing Notes
I’ve probably spent more money on a meal than the entire budget for this film, but that’s ok because it’s punk rock and it wears its DIY attitude on its sleeve.
Some great music by Red Kross, Nip Drivers, etc. slip in behind some unintentionally hilarious dialogue and over-the-top acting. Kind of a cross between SUBURBIA and anything Nick Zedd ever did, except without any of the seriousness with which those movies were made.
