Their lives eventually intersect, but in more or less arbitrary ways.

Oddly, halfway through when Freeland strains our credulity even further, the film finally feels fresh

Freeland's film offers a poor man's Los Angeles opus.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I think the only reason this is playing on cable is that Jennifer Lawrence is briefly in it.
