After Ken Park, I thought Larry Clark wouldn't be able to surprise me anymore. But he did with Wassup Rockers. And what a delightful surprise it was.

Wassup Rockers is Larry Clark's most tender film (but still uncompromising, by the way) which tells the story a bunch of skateboarding teens from South Central who after being stopped by a cop for driving without license, take a bus and roam Beverly Hills. There, they receive an invitation from two rich girls to come to their big house. Sex is only the beginning of the adventures these kids will have. And the seemingly simple plot becomes a treat for those who look for nutritious cinema. My God I love this movie.
