Kids in America Reviews:
Trash 
2009-11-09 - Watching this movie was torture. Nicole Richie cant act to save her life. Her acting ability is just awful, save your money.
Nicole Richie's acting is a DISASTER!!
2009-11-07 - I don't get it! This movie is horrible!!! I bought it and I thought this movie would be good but it's not!! Anyone out there that never see this movie PLEASE do not buy this movie!! This movie is non-sense, terrible, horrible and it's dumb!!! Not worth buying this movie EVER!!! Nicole Richie cant act to save her life. She has no talent and all the does is make this movie a failure. Actually sitting down and watching a Nicole Richie film is about as wild and crazy as I get.
Trash....
2009-11-07 - Long story how I ended up seeing the movie, but this is sooo bad, words can't say.
The movie is an excuse to parade Nicole Richie around. With that, it succeeds.
But lacking a decent script, plot and acting, this is one bad movie.
I bought this movie for 1 reason......
2009-10-22 - and it wasn't for Nicole Richie, as a matter of fact, i walked thru the store with another movie covering it up because I didn't want others knowing I was buying a Nicole Richie movie. I personally cant stand her and she has NO acting skills. her character had a bad intention in mind....a cheerleader. imagine that, Nicole Richie in a short skirt and shaking her [...]. She needs a lot of help with acting because she can't. I bought this movie in the hope i would see some action like in Not Another Teen Movie, and there was, in two whole scenes. Woo Hoo. Other than that I threw the DVD away right after I watched it. Same thing I did when I got Disaster Movie.
Would give it a 0
2009-10-05 - I was very offended when I saw this movie played on a local TV station. I am relatively young (26), but even I see the danger these kinds of movies are to our society.
1. This movie encourages and promotes rebellion. The adults are portrayed as stupid and hardheaded. Already kids/teens are very disrespectful to adults and teachers. Teaching them to swear at and fight authority is utterly wrong; no wonder we have so many people breaking laws. There is no respect for authority.
2. This movie showed a scene were students were all kissing/making out with each other; guys with guys, girls with girls, etc. What is next on movies for teens- naked orgies??? Lets get this straight- I work as an emergency department RN, and I see teens come in with STD's on a daily basis. WE DONT NEED MORE MOVIES TO ENCOURAGE TEEN SEX!!! Already kids are oversaturated with sex everywhere; there is no need for this. Studies are showing that just promoting condoms do not work; condoms are not 100% effective against HIV, Herpes, HPV, Chlamydia, pregnancy, or Gonorrhea; only abstinence is!! (a HIV virus is hundreds of times smaller than a sperm cell, and condoms were only invented to prevent the passage of sperm; but are still only 80% effective against pregnancy... who would gamble with their life that way???)
3. Why don't we encourage sweet innocence on movies anymore??? I am going back to watching Little House on the Prairie and Brady Bunch; shows that were clean, healthy for families, and taught good lessons. I do not want my children watching movies encouraging them to ridicule teachers. I want my kids to look forward to learning, to be kind and respectful, and to spend their time studying hard and getting good grades. TH
4. Most teens in the USA are spoiled and selfish. I've been overseas where people are grateful for even the basics of life. THE KIDS IN THIS MOVIE SHOULD GO OVERSEAS TO INDIA AND SEE WHAT LIFE IS LIKE WITHOUT HIGH SCHOOL OR TEACHERS!!! THEY SHOULD BE THANKFUL THEY EVEN HAVE FOOD, HOUSING AND BOOKS TO LEARN FROM!!! (And that they even have teachers in the first place!!!)
5. Let schools get like what is being promoted in this movie and people will even more so: cheat, lie, sleep around, murder each other, etc... WE NEED MORE MORALITY AND RESPECT FOR AUTHORITY IN THE USA- NOT LESS! No wonder our violence is so high compared to other countries.
I'm so disgusted by what this movie represents, and sadly is becoming more prevalent in today's society... We will just have more and more school shootings in the future...
