    Nothing to do with that Kim Wilde song, and an American High School movie which is actually a great film - more brains then all the American Pie series combined. The writing's pretty good, but the rebellious spirit of it is what really appeals. Although saying it was based on a true story may be a bit of a push, its still important if anyone wants to see how you should really fight if you feel your liberties are being eroded.

    I struggled to recognise whether this was a fiction or based on true tale. It smacked of both so much.
    Not a bad tale but not much to it.

    This was a movie I will never forget. Just imagine yourself in a position where you wanted to do something right for the very first time where it will affect all and not just one. AND it's pathetic that I just found out that people like this movie for Nicole Richie, ugh that is so pathetic.

    Honestly I thought it was going to suck.. but there is a certain real edge to the movie that you don't find in the vast majority of "teen movies".. Most of the dialogue and characters are spot on, teens act like teens.. yet it still manages to be entertaining and humorous while carrying a message without caving and going to extremes..No names for all but three of the major roles (Gregory Smith, Caitlin Wachs and Julie Bowen) adds to the feel.. A few moments of stupidity and one particular character hurt the movie.. but there are a few great standout scenes and characters that make up for it.. It's not perfect, but it wasn't meant to be.. otherwise you'd end up with that carbon copy teen movie..

    It's about standing up for what you believe in (along with hating authority), which is probably why I loved it so much.

    This was a lot better flick than I thought it would be. It's all about adults learning to listen to the children..cause sometimes, they really do know what they are talking about.

    a school decides they will no longer except their principals punishment stragedy,suspending people for normal behavior eg..a couple of the same sex kissing,a girl handing out free condoms to promote safe sex etc,the list goes on,i didn't realise when i watched this movie that it was based on actual events.At the end of the movie u get to hear from some of the actual students who were involved.a good movie i enjoyed it.

    Excellent. When I saw it I was like "wow". I have to say that this movie showed the truth of some high schools. And it was fun too haha. This is my one of my favorite movies because some high schoolers weren't affraid to fight of what they believe it was wrong.

    Another idiotic teenager movie about some pompous high school students who think they are smarter than they really are. Bad acting, unlikeable characters, stupid plot, AND Nicole Richie. Need I say more? Trash!

    The Day I Saw This I Got Very High-Spirited And I Really Did Blame This Movie..
    'Kids In America' is the story which is based on actual events which happened to a couple of high school students in America...and this movie portrayed those facts incredibly..
    Although the acting was under average you couldn't expect more as most of the cast were new and never before seen..
    Not only did i love this film for the stories about the true incidents involving the teens and their rivalry against the principle which at times could be hilarious..yet very inspiring, but i also loved how they portrayed different movies and talked about them as they were a person themselves!
    I love my movies, and to see people talking about some of my personal favourites is awesome..
    Im definitely buying this amazing movie!
