A teen anthem and guilty pleasure.

As a movie, 'Pump Up the Volume' is a lot like a teenager: at times unbearably self-important and pretentious (Nora's poems, good lord), yet undeniably, and admirably, earnest.

Sharply uneven, this teen-angst feature begins exgremely well with some relevant social commentary; it also put on the map Christian Slater as a talent to watch.

The perfectly cast Slater effectively propels the film, his intensity and dry delivery giving it a definite edge, as does a soundtrack which includes Ice T, Concrete Blonde and the Cowboy Junkies.

Much more than a teen movie....an experience, and one you'll never forget. TURN IT UP LOUD!

Pump Up the Volume is the kind of movie that hits home. It touches on real emotions and is a reminder of just how darn awkward it is to be a young adult.

Powerful teen rebellion movie

Few films understand the fantasies of the would-be outsider-turned-icon quite as well, while remaining in a realistic setting.

Underrated.
January 01, 2000
It's a howl from the heart, a relentlessly involving movie that gives a kid every reason to believe that he or she can come of age.

Fast paced with a satisfyingly unhappy ending.
