This one for me is a love/hate film really, It shows what the shocking streets and youth of today is unfortunately truthfully like, they have done their research for this one. Set in the streets of London, it follows just another day in the life's of a number of teenagers. Although what that particular day has set in motion for them, Is a day they will remember for the rest of the their life's. If your not very versed in street slang though, this movie maybe tough to understand.

In Kidulthood, teenagers are totally reckless living for their moment under a whirl of as much sex, coke, blowjobs, weed, booze & partying as they can cram into their lives. What they consider to be having a laugh at times is serious stuff with deadly consequences. However, look behind the blurred sheen of peer-pressure narcotics and I-fell-asleep-during-sex relationships and you'll find guns, baseball bats, muggings, & teen pregnancy. For these adolescents, you need to have a tragic experience to learn about the very notion of consequence.

This film is one hell of a ride and true to how it is, i enjoyed every minute. Kidulthood is an excellent piece of film-making with a cracking script, fine performances and imaginative direction. A real eye opener that deserves a wide audience.

Based in West London, where rich and poor rub shoulder to shoulder, the film tells the stories of a number of kids given the day off school because a girl kills herself after being bullied.

Speaking a language alien to anyone born before 1990 and featuring a rare celluloid happy slapping, the 16 year olds of Kidulthood are their own, irreverent culture. Smashed on cocaine and booze, Alisa says of the unwanted baby growing inside her, "I'd get so fat if I kept this," while her buddy Becky (Ray Winstone's daughter, Jamie) gives wealthy city boys head for drugs. Shot in guerrilla style, with cast and crew weaving through actual Oxford Street crowds, the film's immediacy is striking. The actors, too - many of whom are making their cinematic bow - bring uncomfortable authenticity.

Kidulthood gives us a smidgen of Grange Hill (a UK TV series from the 70's), a large portion of Larry Clarke's Kids and a sprinkle of Spike Lee's Do The Right Thing.

This i an ultra-realistic snapshot of Britain today, you'll never get on your local bus and look at kids the same again after seeing Kidulthood.....Overall 8.8/10
