Plot: Kids offers a bleak, unblinking view of a group of vacuous, thoughtless New York City teens in their ceaseless quest for sex, drugs, and trouble. The film primarily follows Telly (Leo Fitzpatrick), who, having just realized the conquest of his latest virgin, brags that by day's end he will claim one more. While he and his friends brag to each other about their sexual exploits, Jenny (Chloë Sevigny) describes her own less-than-romantic encounter with Telly. Soon after the conversation, she learns that Telly, the only boy with whom she has slept, has infected her with the AIDS virus. Devastated, she sets out to find him and share the news. Meanwhile, Telly has set his sights on Darcy (Yakira Peguero), a lovely young girl whom he invites for a skinny dip at the local pool. Together with his friends, Telly drags Darcy along, and the entire crew jump the fence after hours. There he presents his now-familiar spiel which Darcy naïvely accepts, and the scene is set for disaster as the group heads back to a vacant apartment for an evening of sex, booze, drugs, and debauchery. Jenny finally locates Telly at the impromptu party and rushes to confront him, although she may be too late to save the next virgin in line from sharing her fate. ~ Jeremy Beday, All Movie Guide

Intense reality
Added 10/10/2009

well casted movie with intense subject matter. Exaggerated at times but many times shockingly true.

I had to watch and so did my kids

It may make your pre-teen or teenager uncomfortable to watch, but it will open their minds and get them to think which is exactly what we want for them to do. At least that's what I want my 3 daughters to do. Think. Think before reacting to all horomone drunken thoughts. I had to watch it when I was a teenager and so do they. Anyhoo, good buy.

Must See

Clark takes the daily life of most teenagers today and puts it on film for all the world to see. A great way to scare your kids from having unprotected sex in case you need a visual backup.

While I thought this was a good film, some scenes were hard to watch. Such as the beginning and ending parts, where Telly (Leo Fitzpatrick) deflower two young underage girls, and where Casper (Justin Pierce) rapes Jenny (Chloe Sevigny) in her sleep. All Telly wants to do is de-virginize young girls. Jenny, one of Telly's previous sex partners, Jenny finds out she has an HIV, after only having sex once. She looks for Telly, only to catch him doing another girl, giving her an HIV. Jenny falls asleep, depressed, and Casper rapes her, giving him an HIV.

I am aware that the kids were only acting, but stuff like this actually happens in the world. Children as young as 10-12 doing drugs, underage sex, and receiving HIVs, and the parents don't do anything. This film was also very controversial, some claimed it "borerline child pornography". But this was a great film, even though I won't be watching it again for a while, because I was shocked from everything.

If you liked "Kids", you will like "Ken Park", which actually contains more explicit content than this one.
