About Kids in America
Inspired by real events, this ribald comedy pits an unlikely gang of students against their principal after she bars safe-sex activities on campus. Protesting Principal Weller's muzzling of free speech, the teens stage a bold and hilarious rebellion.
Directed by Josh Stolberg, Kids in America leans on a strong ensemble — Gregory Smith, Caitlin Wachs, Stephanie Sherrin — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2005.
