'''''Kids''''' is a 1995 Drama film directed by Larry Clark.
Leo Fitzpatrick and Justin Pierce star as Telly and Casper, two New York teenagers of around 17. [[Kidanova|Telly's mission in life is to deflower virgins, referring to himself as the "virgin surgeon"]]. His latest sexual conquest has been Jennie ([[Chloe Sevigny]]). The film charts a day in Telly and Casper's lives, as they go about their daily activities of [[Pretty Fly for
The film was extremely controversial for its frank, unabashed depiction of teen sexuality, deliquency and drug use, landing it an NC-17 rating. It is notable for using untrained actors actually recruited from the street (this was Sevigny and Dawson's debut). Critical reception of it was mixed; with some calling it "a wakeup call to America's youth" and others decrying as nothing more than a glorified [[Exploitation Film

* [[Adults Are Useless]]: It's not that the parents don't care, it's just that they are completely clueless.

* [[Hey,
* [[Instant Seduction]]: Occurs not once, but twice, the first time involving Telly talking a young virgin into having sex in literally a minute and a half.
* [[Irony]]: Quite a bit.
** Ruby ''really'' gets around, but it's {{spoiler|Jennie}} that turns up HIV-positive.
** See [[Laser
** Among Telly's stupid ideas about virgins, he particularly cherishes the idea that the girl will remember him for the rest of her life. Cut to Ruby telling a bunch of giggling girls that she can't even remember the ''name'' of her first. About Telly himself, Jennie states flat out that "It wasn't that he took my virginity. It was that he never spoke to me again!"
* [[Kidanova]]: Telly.
* [[Laser
* [[Nature Adores a Virgin]]: Telly is ''obsessed'' with the allure of virgins and virginity.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: The kids' parents are hardly seen or mentioned.
* [[Pretty Fly for
* [[Rape
* [[Really Gets Around]]: Telly and Ruby.
* [[Sex Is Evil]]: It's not exactly clear if the characters have sex because they're evil, or if they're evil because they have sex, but there's a definite correlation in there somewhere.
