By now, writer/director Larry Clark has developed a reputation for movies such "Kids", "Bully", and "Ken Park". If you're a fan of Larry Clark's accurate portrayal of the lives of teenagers, then "Wassup Rockers" will more than suffice.
However, if you've been a fan of Larry Clark for any amount of time and have seen any of his movies, then you may feel as if "Wassup Rockers" falls short. With the restrictions of the "R" rating, Clark showed us a more "user-friendly" version of a tale that could have become as the three movie mentioned above.
As most of Clark's movies, "Wassup Rockers" follows the life of urban teens just 'hanging out' and getting into extreme, but realistic circumstances. For a "normal" film, you may find "Wassup Rockers" offensive and extreme; however, if you watch it waiting for a class Clark film, you will be slightly disappoint.
By itself, great film. 7 out of 10.
Mr. Clark, I miss your extremes. Please come back to us.
