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

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.

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.

A teen anthem and guilty pleasure.

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.

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.

Underrated.

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

Powerful teen rebellion movie

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.
