Stevo becomes a punk rebel in Reagan-era Salt Lake City. His ex-hippie father sees his lifestyle as a rite of passage and urges him to attend Harvard Law School like himself- not to sell out to the system, but to buy in. For Stevo, underneath the mohawk haircuts, earrings and leather, the idea, painfully, has some merit. [More]

Reviews for SLC Punk!
...one of those movies that's a lot more fun to watch than it is to think (or write) about
The script's deficiencies are balance by a surprisingly mature performance by Lillard, who is obviously capable of better roles than he's been offered.
There's nothing about the "SLC" in SLC PUNK that makes it stand out. The tale could have been told in any city, really
It's a rental for when you've seen everything else and are in the mood for some rebellion.
