Trivia

During the scene where the T.R. kids are driving to the house to steal sod, Jack says "Where' the house Flea?", to which Razzle (played by Red Hot Chili Pepper's bass player Flea), replies "Hey my name's Razzle, man". See more »

Goofs

When Razzle dumps the slushie into the pickled egg jar, blue syrup goes all down the outside of the jar and puddles onto the counter. In the next shot, the slushie is neatly contained (and well mixed) inside the jar with no mess. See more »

I love this movie
3 July 2003 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Let's set the record straight here...If you're into your average hollywood blockbuster...skip this one. (although I guess that if you're into that kind of movie, you've probably never even heard of this)

if you're like me, and grew up with punk rock, than you should check this movie out. It's a punk movie. that's all I can say. It's a good punk movie...about a bunch of punks who live in some place, and deal with things like death, parents, society, all that jazz. Just check it out, if you can find it.

Oh yeah, the acting in this movie is HORRIBLE...the bands and the shows that they go to are good....watch it now.
