The title is a clever pun on the film's inspirations (there's also a little of Reservoir Dogs rattling around the back of the picture), but it's neither a comedy nor a gritty thriller. Young Stevie (Cameron Van Hoy), bored and starved for attention (his mother has left him home alone while she's off at some New Age retreat), decides to skip school and rob a bank with his reluctant but loyal best friend-girlfriend, Rocky (Mischa Barton). Within minutes they're surrounded by cops and calling for pizzas and MTV (a sly, smarmy cameo by MTV reporter Kurt Loder) through tired FBI hostage negotiator Burt Reynolds. It's like some video game fantasy come to life, and the growing media circus gives these heretofore neglected kids their 15 minutes of fame and a sudden (if fleeting) power. Writer-director Ash (Bang) doesn't quite pull it all together, and it drags some at 100 minutes, but the meandering narrative mirrors the hairpin emotional turns of the kids while Ash's handheld camerawork and long unbroken shots capture the chaos of the situation with easy understatement. The kids are sharply drawn and startlingly refreshing, a testament to Ash's savvy writing and direction and to the skills of Van Hoy and Barton. It's a smartly made film, subtly satirical, pleasantly unexplained by any confessional motivations, and happily free of moralizing. --Sean Axmaker Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Not about a bank roberyA great movie. It's not about a bank robery you retards! Ho hum...just watch it. Rating:  - This movie rocksPups is an entertaining and what i found thrilling movie. Newcomer Cameron Van Hoy does an excellent job as the very troubled Stevie, who has been left at home by his mother who is at a seminar (?) somewhere. When he stumbles upon his mothers loaded gun he brings his girlfriend Rocky (Mischa Barton) on a crazy ride. On impulse Stevie walks into a bank and starts waving the gun around. Soon we have a hostage situation and there are cops buzzing around everywhere. Burt Reynolds does a fine job as the ... Read More Rating: - Amazing movie, definitely worth a lookSome people are probably put off by this movie, since most people seem to prefer the fairy-tale world a lot of films create. You won't see any of that in "Pups". What's really unique about this film is it's similarity to reality; it gives the film an almost documentary-like feel, without taking away the emotional aspects. You can really feel for the characters-- whether you love them or hate them, this movie definitely inspires emotion. I would recommend "Pups" to anyone who isn't offended easily and ... Read More Rating:  - No words could describe how terrible this movie is.I was 14 years old when I saw this movie, and it was about the same age as the two main characters. Basically what it's about is two kids rob a bank wow very exciting. ''Stevie'' finds a hand gun and with his girlfriend Rocky they rob a bank. The two 13 year olds go into a bank with a hand gun and force everyone to the floor and so on, nothing new you've seen it all before. What gets to me about this movie is that all they had to do was tackle this kid and take the gun away. The acting (stunk) and I can't ... Read More Rating: - Stay AwayOne of the worst, if not the worst movie ever. There are so many things wrong with this movie, it's almost funny. The two teenage bankrobbers are never developed as sympathetic characters. Instead we are given a crowd and MTV's Kurt Loder that act sympathetic toward them and we're supposed to be sympathetic too. One problem--we hate them. I found myself cheering when the boy got shot in the end. Part of this disaffection is the result of the agonizing pacing of this movie--it begins to seem as though ...
