SLC Punk! (1998)
6/10
It's tough to be a poser.

This is a very interesting movie. It's part documentary, part narrative, and part confusing. (I really, really feel like the 2002 "Scooby-Doo" movie takes place during one of Matthew Lillard's bad trips.) The two protagonists, Heroin Bob and Stevo, are a great pair. I loved watching their story arcs rise and fall. I don't really know how accurate the movie is about growing up punk, but I was also raised a little bit on punk (and ska). I liked the music in the movie, even all the hating on British bands. It was also funny as hell to see Jason Segel play a dweeby guy. While I can't say for sure whether or not I liked the ending, it did make me tear up a bit, which rarely happens. Overall a good film. (And I love love love the song "Beat My Guest" so thanks for including it.
