Beat Kids is a nice movie which has lots of little moments. In a nutshell the story is about a kid nicknamed "fool" and his journey to become a good drummer.

There's no real point to it really.

He's got a bad relationship with his father who drinks and and gambles, and he doesn't want to become like him. So he doesn't. There's a love interest who he never goes after. There's a music teacher that the students trick. The film is really lots of little stories that don't really amount to anything.

I like the film because really life is just like that, the stories are still enjoyable and each add a different element to the film which makes up this teenager's life.

However I don't see any real point in watching it again. In life there are more profound lessons to be learned which prevent this film becoming a good account of the life of a teenager. For this reason the film falls short. It really just crashes and burns because it doesn't really achieve anything. It does have its funny moments and I cannot say that it wasn't interesting and so I'll give it a 6/10 as my vote.

It's OK.
