CGiii Comment
The perpetual, imposing, whining disco soundtrack will have you reaching for the remote.
All the female actresses are terrible.
The plot is as deep as a puddle.....same story - different races.
Polk hasn't changed his record - he keeps playing the same tune over and over again...perhaps, with better actors, dialogue and story - he'll sample success.

The never-ending search for Mr. Right takes a surprise detour into totally unexplored territory with "Punks." This sparkling, rhythm-and-blues-driven romantic comedy is the story of four close-knit friends trying to find that mythical relationship that will finally make things right. But if you think that sounds familiar, think again, because "Punks" is the first-ever comic love story set amidst the world of African-American gay men.
