Sure, I'll agree that "Kids" packed more stuff into one day than what happens (normally), but an awful lot of movies do that. I'd say that's a case of minor artistic licence.
: I mean, I didn't hate Kids or anything - I just found it to be unrealistic. A lot of that stuff does happen to kids - just not all in one friggin day.
: But my main concern is that the young teenagers who do see this movie may want to emulate what goes on. I'm not highly moral by any means - nor do I think all teenagers are that dumb to follow blindly along to things - but since it is a time when a lot of them do feel a lot of peer pressure, I just hope they don't see the behavior depicted as acceptable or normal.
: Damn, now I sound like my grandma.
