Teenagers with guns/Internet/Violence/Amazing Acting, 19 July 1999
10/10
Author: anonymous from los angeles

With all that is going on right now in the world, example Colorado killings, teens with guns and their ability to look up things on the internet on how to load guns, etc. is really one of the biggest issues in A Packing Suburbia directed by Steven Szklarski. I saw this film at the Long Island Film Festival on Sunday July 18, 1999 and could not believe how amazing the acting was!! THOMAS BRANDISE shows us James Maxwell a teen who goes through more transformations in 90 minutes than most teens do in their life. This young kid has so much intensity and real star quality, look for him to explode. I tried to say hello to him at the screening but agents and managers and teen fans were surrounding him with pens for autographs. Mariana Carreno who plays Iris is equally powerful and Robert Alexander is pretty good too. This film will definitely get distribution for theatrical release because the subject matter is important for parents to question especially parents with teens, for lets face it, being a teen is tough, especially in the 1990's. I do not want to give away the ending, but just want people to look out for it when it hits theatres. I will be there again...Also great editing
