Put the camera on me!
It's a yong boys pure movie.We cannot be a move critic watching it just feel like had that age and probably would not did nothing much diferent.It's fun anyway.

Please set the Way-Back machine for... Childhood!
Six boys and a gurl have a kingdom all their own in the hills above Ventura Boulevard. A cul-de-sac makes for an interesting location to develop paradigms and friendships that last a lifetime. One of them, having an early VHS cam-corder, sets out to organize skits, features, and documentaries. As adults one of them gets the idea to make this video documentary for posterity. At least half of the videos were still around. This movie is the result. I was reminded of the time my two friends and I put imaginary radio shows on cassette tape. We covered current events, made fun of commercials and played the oldest friends extensive 12" LP collection. Some was made in total ignorance, but some of the topics we acted out, were truly our innocence leaking out as we planned to save the world from it's own stupidity. Hey, it seemed realistic to us at the time. And so "realistic for the time" is what Put the Camera on Me" is all about. Covering world events, local issues and personal insights as seen from the eyes of the Kingdom of Boyhood. And one gurl (a little sister who admitted to being lost about the whole thing, but was one of the gang just the same). What ever walk of life you are from, you will be transported back to your own childhood and laugh, chuckle and ponder your own issues with the kids in the hills. If you don't add this to your DVD collection, "it's your loss"!

Be prepared to be disappointed
After reading the glowing reviews here, I went ahead and took a chance on this and was frankly disappointed. So much so that I trashed my copy. How you rate this unusual documentary is going to be highly subjective. Take my advice and rent it before committing to a purchase.
