SLC Punk!

God bless America... they're going to need it.

Two former geeks become 1980s punks, then party and go to concerts while deciding what to do with their lives.

“[Matthew Lillard’s] performance dominates the film, and he does a subtle, tricky job of being both an obnoxious punk and a kid in search of his direction in life. He’s very good.” (Roger Ebert)

“A messy but engaging look at the punk scene in Salt Lake City during the Reagan years; that may sound a little specialized, but how many of us knew there ever was a punk scene—or even a single punk—in the home of the Mormons?” (The New Yorker)
