Review – SLC Punk

Growing up white and male and rebellious in the capital of the Mormon world must be really hard, at least if this indie is any indication. It packs a handful of extremely funny bits (unfortunately mostly toward the beginning), but for the most part it’s the usual whining and moaning about the burden of hating society. Further, the end is either a sop to the need for something heartwarming and profound or an attempt to out-cynical the whole rest of the cynical show (or maybe both at once). The final product is good for a few laughs and some good tunes on the soundtrack, but not much else. Mildly amusing
