Featured review
My favorite movie at age 13 - would love to see it again
I grew up in the Detroit area - there was an underground punk scene in the city, but I didn't know much more about punk until I saw this movie.
My name is Pam, and my best friend and I called each other Nicky and Pammy for months after seeing this movie. Great teen rebellion flick, great gritty scenes of NYC. The concert at the end is awesome - Damn Dog was my favorite song. Loved Trini Alvarado. Surprised she didn't do a lot more acting.
I wish I still had the album; it is even better than the movie. I'm looking in used record stores for it, and hopefully will find it.
