Adam Farrar, Burt Reynolds, Cameron Van Hoy

When Stevie (Cameron Van Hoy), a bored and attention-starved teenager, stumbles on a gun in his house while his mom's out of town, he and his girlfriend (Mischa Barton) impulsively rob a bank. The sit...( read more  read more... )uation soon spirals out of control as hostages are taken and the FBI gets involved.

    'Pups' is about very emotive subjects (gun crime and gun ownership in the US, the loss of innocence and nihilism of younger generations) that manages raise them without ever turning to didacticism.

    It is the sort of film Michael Moore wishes he had the intelligence to produce. I...( read more)t is political without wearing a badge on its sleeve, rather than spending the entire film hammering home an anti-gun message it treats us as adults.

    But that's not really what I wanted to talk about because the political message is of secondary importance. Foremost this film is a very very dark comedy that is playful with convention and whilst not perfect (it lacks pace at points, Rockie can be annoying) it is beautifully crafted and well worth anyone's time.

    Puppy Day Afternoon in its most amateurish version possible. A very powerful story, but awfully developed and not realistic at all.

    42/100

Pups looks ragged and slammed-together, but that's part of its appeal; the film has a wildness that more care would have killed. full review
