1. How typical is Jenny of a British Teenager?

Jenny could be seen as mature and grown up but she is also easily led and naive when she meets David. When David is meeting Jennys parents she says "why are you drinking, it's not christmas. " This shows Jenny is shocked by her parents drinking alcohol, which would not be a big deal nowadays.

In both Alfie and Kidulthood, the girls are treated almost as second class citizens and as the "property" of the males. For example, Gilda in Alfie is treated not as a partner, but just as a bit on the side along with the other women, even though he has a chid with him.

Bad Review
Kidulthood tries so hard to be cool it hurts. Mostly it hurts the senses of the audience who have to sit through another torrid attempt to bring the vernacular of Britain’s streets to our cinema screens. In a 24-hour period, every teen problem imaginable – drugs, unwanted pregnancy, prostitution, violence and bullying – are rammed down our throats in what is supposed to be a comment on the state of our youth. Ironically, Kidulthood suffers precisely because it doesn’t keep it real. 


Good Review
Kidulthood is a sharp reality. The reviewers and newspapers simply cannot handle the pure honesty of it, its gritty, British and true. The upper class society have been doing this for years, ignoring exactly what they know is going on. But they still avoid the gangs wearing their hoodies up and jeans round their knees. Kidulthood, although slightly drastic and exaggerated depicts exactly how the teenage generation does business. The name is catchy but could be better. You cant ignore the strength of the acting, and the realness of the language and use of sex references. Because its all honest, the writing is genius and comical at times, with an amazing editing and film structure.
