David Fear Time Out Rated: 2/5 Nov 17, 2011 Full Review Peter Debruge Variety Their lives eventually intersect, but in more or less arbitrary ways. Jul 22, 2008 Full Review Kyle Smith New York Post Slow ride to nowhere. Rated: 0.5/4 Jul 13, 2008 Full Review Todd Gilchrist IGN Movies Freeland's film offers a poor man's Los Angeles opus. Rated: 2/5 Aug 8, 2008 Full Review Jeff Bayer The Scorecard Review This ensemble piece works if you know Los Angeles. After all, it's very possible for a homeless kid, pot-smoking Realtor, young model and a number of perverts to cross paths in that town. Rated: 6/10 Jul 15, 2008 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Cinematical Sophomore writer/director Freeland doesn't quite feel like the host of this particular "garden party," but rather like the party's Sabrina, secretly spying from the sidelines.

Mj B Theres nothing worse in a film than it being boring and this movie is VERY boring despiste having a Stellar cast. 1/5 can't be worth more. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/12/24 Full Review Steve D Only of note for its great cast. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 10/06/23 Full Review Audience Member One of the worst movies I've ever seen that wasn't intentionally trying to be terrible. I kept waiting for the joke parts. There is nothing to see, no characters to watch, no real story. I'm not sure I really blame the actors, but no other's associated with the upper levels of making this movie should ever work again. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A lovely little film, definitely a well deserved break for all the box office stupidities. I understand I would be in minority for liking this, but if you are looking for something little different and if you like very character oriented dramas, go for it. I just kind of had very good feeling watching it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Coming of age story about a set of young wannabes who are seeking fame and fortune..Unoriginal story plus stilted acting hurt this what really could have been an interesting movie. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I think the only reason this is playing on cable is that Jennifer Lawrence is briefly in it. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
