    What's it like being the only punk rockers in the biggest Mormon community in the world? Stevo (Matthew Lillard) and Heroin Bob (Michael Goorjian) provide the answer to this and other questions in SLC Punk. Stevo and Bob (whose name is actually an ironic reference to his fear of needles) are two friends fresh out of college who sport mohawks and blue hair, listen to hardcore and try to live up to their own anarchist ideals while figuring out what to do with their lives. Which wouldn't make them unusual in New York or Los Angeles, but they're fish out of water in Salt Lake City, Utah, where they drink beer, chase women and pick fights with "rednecks" along side a mixed bag of metalheads, hippies, hicks and posers who are fellow outcasts in the most clean-cut community in America. In the midst of all this, Stevo's dad hopes his son will follow in his footsteps and study law at Harvard; while Stevo surprisingly has the grades, he's not sure if he wants to go. Featuring a soundtrack of mid-80's punk from The Ramones, Minor Threat, The Dead Kennedys and others, SLC Punk was chosen as the opening-night feature at the 1999 Sundance Film Festival.

    July 12, 2005: The first thing you should know about SLC Punk is that... well... it's not punk at all. SLC Punk is an After School Special with some swearing and drugs thrown in. It was created for parents to watch so they could understand what there kids were going through. But somthing went wrong. Nobody involved knew what they were doing!!!! They didn't know punk at all. Punk is not about mindless anarchy. Let's take a look at one of the punk bands from when this movie takes place. They're called Bad Religion. They're singer, Greg Graffin has earned a Masters degree in geology and a PhD in evolutionary paleontology. Let's take a look at one of their songs. This is an exerpt from their song Inner Logic: "Automatrons with business suite clinging black boxes, sequestering the blueprints of daily life Contented, free of care, they rejoice in morning ritual. As they file like drone ant colonies to their office in the sky I don't ask questions, don't promote demonstration, don't look for new consensus, don't stary from constitution If I pierce the complexity I won't find salvation just the bald and overt truth of the evil and deception" These are not mindless anarchists!!! These are intelligent people, and SLC Punk does not reflect that. Furthermore, these "punks" are the biggest freakin' posers! Look at the perfect mohawks, the complete "pUnK rAwK" wardrbe... that ain't punk! Punk is just plain not giving a s*** what other people think and doing what you want because you like to. SLC Punk is about the most suferficial posers you can find. Combine that with the awful plot, and you've got one of the worst films you can find. Check out "Rude Boy". That is a REAL punk film. It was the Clash's movie, and it frankly blows SLC Poser far out of the water.
