Solid teen film
Added 7/23/2009
The Bottom Line:
Something of a cult classic, this film about a meek high school student who runs an illegal radio station after hours is not a great movie but it's a cut above the standard teen angst film and is a better use of your time than the more acclaimed Heathers.
3/4

Absolutely fantastic movie
Added 5/3/2009
It had been several years since I had last watched Pump Up The Volume, so when I saw it for sale here for so cheap, I knew I had to buy it. It arrived quickly and well packaged. PUTV was just as good as I remember it being. I've watched it at least once a week since purchase. The video and audio are both great. If you are a Christian Slater fan, you need to have Pump Up The Volume on DVD. It is a great companion piece to Kuffs, which is another great Christian Slater movie. Samantha Mathis looks great in her role as well.

VOLUME NEEDS RESPECT
Added 10/20/2008
This is one of those movies that deserves the special edition treatment, but has yet to see one. And, to the person that cited DREAM A LITTLE DREAM as being on the same level, you have no taste. DREAM A LITTLE DREAM is mediocre and shouldn't be mentioned in relation to VOLUME, or John Hughes, or GOOD.

Best teen film ever made.
Added 7/12/2008
This is one of my favorite movies. It is definitely the last great teen movie. Maybe the best teen movie. I think when I first saw this film afterwards I felt like rebelling for the first time.

Two thumbs up from S & E
Added 2/14/2008
Released between Heathers and True Romance, this movie is an often forgotten Christian Slater classic. Full of teen angst BS, it's also a heart-felt story with believable characters on all sides. If you didn't see it before the age of 20, you probably will think it's juvinile in it's outlook, but if you did, it's a nice reminder of how it felt to grow up post Reagan and pre internet.
