Teenage Bonnie and Klepto Clyde (1993)
The Bonnie & Clyde story is re-told from a contemporary viewpoint. Clyde in this movie is a high school nerd working in the local burger joint. Urges to steal things are inflamed when he runs into Bonnie, the bored daughter of the local police commissioner, who is running with a street gang led by Kirk. Clyde immediately senses a kindred spirit in Bonnie. Initially she ignores him, but he rescues her from a shop-lifting charge and offers her a ride in a stolen van. Soon the two have taken guns from her father's home and go off on a bloody crime spree...

Simply A Masterpiece
Good concept, poorly executed.
A waste of 90 minutes of my life
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
A pair of bored but demented teens engage in a crime spree that goes from shoplifting cassettes (it's a media format sonny) to robbing banks and gunning down cops. After each crime they engage in lovemaking, and this becomes the routine, committing crime followed by sex, throw in a few shootouts and you have a film, well something resembling one. A story like this requires the audience to relate to or sympathize with the main characters, who here are portrayed in a nauseatingly romantic fashion. It does not take a model citizen to develop the desire to see these two carjacking, bank robbing, teenage cop killers get caught in a hailstorm of bullets, unfortunately this comes far too late in the film. While B films are among cinema's greatest entertainment, this film is sadly quite average.
I was surprised that I found myself watching this entire movie. I expected utter nonsense, which I did get sometimes, but it was entertaining nonetheless. Perfect for an easy afternoon movie.Basically, it is a modern takeoff of the old Bonnie and Clyde movie. This time around it's teenagers, and Bonnie's Dad is Chief of Police. Cliché, yes. But the actors do a great job. You find yourself routing for these two to make it, and I won't say whether or not this time around the ending was changed. I will say this movie had a totally different feel than its predecessor.All in all, worth a look. Don't expect an Oscar-winning film, and you won't be disappointed.
Scott Wolf and Maureen Flannigan star in this hilarious action packed adventure as Bonnie and Clyde. Set as a modern day story Bonnie(Flannigan) and Clyde(Wolf) are just you average teenage high school students. A film full of laughs and a sad ending "TEENAGE BONNIE AND KLEPTO CLYDE" is a great movie to watch over and over again. 9 out of 10
With a title like Teenage Bonnie and Klepto Clyde you wouldn't expect a great movie and while its not a great movie its a lot better than one would expect. Its a suprisingly exciting tale about two teens who decide to escape their boredom by committing crimes. The acting is good and the action keeps you interested. Definitely worth a look! 5 out of 10
