SLC Punk! Movie Review 1999

Lillard is Stevo, a punk rocker rebelling against "the establishment" in mid-'80s Salt Lake City, Utah before it's time to head off to Harvard Law. He and his friends wander aimlessly from fights with rednecks and hippies to trashy clubs to various girlfriends. Nothing really funny or particularly dramatic happens in the comedy-drama, which seems like an excuse for director/writer Merendino to relive his carefree college years.
