Details

The straight-to-video feature That Darn Punk was produced by a new film division of the Kung Fu record label, and its soundtrack features a number of punk-pop bands, some of whom are, naturally, signed to the label. Several songs were recorded especially for the film by bands like Nerf Herder, No Motiv, and the Vandals, while much of the material recorded by the label's own roster is exclusive to the soundtrack or at least previously unissued. Plus, there are a few cuts licensed from bands like Pennywise, Rancid, and Lagwagon.

TeenzTen An action-packed slog
filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.
Marva It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,
Celia A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
wright4978 A great band they are, hands down, filmmakers and great actors they are not. Plagued with wooden, disgustingly bad performances by pretty much everyone in the film, you don't watch to see what happens next, you watch because you feel so sorry and embarrassed for the "actors" that you feel you owe it to them. The movie itself seems like they planned on making a twelve hours film, then decided to cut it down to less than two, there are many jumps and plot holes (Whats with the aliens?). To give an opptumistic side, the Vandals are one of my favorite bands, and seeing them on the screen is almost worth sitting through this horrible tripe. The ending does hold a surprise, in true punk fashion, but thats about it for the goods. Only for the true punk or Vandals fan, and even for us it doesnt make for multiple viewings.
warpspasm9 while the film begins like a high school play, it and the actors seem to improve steadily. It's weird enough and real enough to give a vague David Lynchian feeling, most of all it's just fun, and if "Punk" represents a departure from the mainstream, then "that darn punk" is a true punk achievement.
stediaboy All I can say is wow. From the storyline to the soundtrack. The cast were great especially Joe Escalante. It wasn't what I expected when I bought it, I can say is that it was better than my expectations.I loved this film and can't wait for Kung Fu's next film.
Kzinti9 I liked this film a lot because it was interesting and different in concept and form. A total pleasure to watch & there was just so much about it that set my imagination to blaze. With its great plot and acting it kept me in suspense & humor throughout. What a great combination and I highly recommend this marvelous movie. Totally excellent! Thank you for a great movie.
