Softwing Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

Salubfoto It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Bergorks If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

videorama-759-859391 Pups is sad and disturbing and a very powerful and real tale about two lovers, mislead youths, where the high strung boyfriend who's wired wrong, on the spare of the moment, decides to rob a bank, dragging his girlfriend, (Barton) along. We know how these drama's ensue, where like Dog Day Afternoon, the movie becomes a one set peace, steered by a great youthful performance. Pups is so bloody entertaining, where there are unavoidable amateur moments: indie attributes, but it's not a film than can be overlooked. May'be the kid should of picked another day to rob the bank, as there are some real nauseating types, whether customers or staff, two in particular. The high point for me, is the blowing bubble scene, and Barton can really pull beer down. Too, Reynolds, very good here, as the negotiator really forms a friendship, with our troubled gunman or gun kid, I should say. But here's a young voice that needs to be heard and every moment this young actors on screen, it is. His performance grips us, frighteningly disturbing you would say, as to where this kid's future's heading, and it's not good. Barton is very good too. Here's a frank drama, you shouldn't miss, whether any age, with some really unintentional humorous moments. More so kids in the teen bracket. May'be script wise, it needed a little bit more, but the so so dialogue really comes off, more real than fictional, which only makes the movie that more compelling.

daniel-mkatz Well I'm giving this a 7 because of the movie it could have been. Generally, most of these comments are pretty accurate, but it really was a very good idea - the movie shows the media obsession with violence, similarly to natural born killers, but with the added spin of the effect this has on children. This was not meant to be a serious movie and while people have been criticizing it as more of a child's fantasy than a real drama, I think that this was the point and I rather criticize the movie for not making it as obvious. The acting leaves a lot to be desired and the script could have used some editing but this could have been a very good movie. Shame really.

Ssshady2k I ran across this movie when I was thirteen, and stopped only because I thought Mischa Barton was hot. I wound up watching the entire thing, and then stayed up until four so I could record it off of HBO West.I've heard people comment that kids their age weren't that vulgar and dirty minded, which is funny, since when I saw it I was their age (maybe a year older) and I thought it was funny because my friends and I would have been even lewder.I also made numerous friends and family members watched it, and they unanimously agreed that Ash had made a masterpiece. It also began my admiration of Mischa Barton, years before she landed a roll on the OC.

mogcat An excellent film depicting the upsurge of 'meaningless' youth crime and the problems faced by the authorities when having to deal with it (is it OK to shoot children in this situation?).Maybe not completely realistic but engaging and thought provoking nonetheless.
