Audience Member Mad Youth is a surprisingly good exploitation film about getting involved with the wrong people. While the film does get hammy at certain points due to the script, it remains a strong drama that is much better made than most other exploitation films of the era and I could actually generally take it seriously. I like it and I think it's underrated. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member jitterbug scenes alone give this 4 stars. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a good movie, it's exciting, dramatic, and edgy for it's time. I enjoyed it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Fun movie with some very entertaining dance numbers and skits. It's a low budget "B" movie but it doesn't look bad at all. Much better acted that most low budget films, as well as a deeper than the usual story. Good and well done. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
