King is a young man, but he's already a veteran of life on the streets of Los Angeles. The de facto leader of a group of teenage runaways, King acts as a mentor to troubled kids such as gay hustler Little J and junkie Greg. When Heather, a beautiful girl from Chicago, starts hanging out with King and his crew, it changes the dynamic of the gang. However, it seems as though nothing will alter their dangerous lifestyle.

Lovesusti The Worst Film Ever
Stometer Save your money for something good and enjoyable
Baseshment I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.
resireg-31415 I don't know why, but I just love depressing g movies, such as "requiem for a dream", "trainspotting", "natural born killers" and "christiane f". This movie is depressing and great a the same time. It casted actors known for jolly and friendly characters (like Sean Astin from "Goonies" and Will Smith from "Fresh Prince"), and challenges them to portray hopeless kids who are self destructive and refuse help from the adult world.The story is about this pack of teenagers who are surviving in the streets without taking showers or changing clothes (despite having those luxuries available in charities), and they live mostly under a bridge. The first thought in my mind is that that place probably must be rat infested, but the kids seem to enjoy their lifestyle.It is hard to understand why they live like that, but the movie doesn't judge. It doesn't try to say whether they are good or bad, it just depicts their reality.
thablaza-1 I just got this movie on DVD and me and my brother laughed, cheered the group led by King, and felt sad all at the same time. Everyone was great in their portrayal of homeless and down -on-thier - luck types. Dermot Mulroney and Balthazar Getty should have got nominations for portraying King and Little J respectively. Will Smith and Peter Dobson were comic relief. However all the while the grittiness of living on the streets was reflected. A great movie is anything that could touch you in every way possible and this film does it!!! The entire cast was good. Seeing Christina Slater as a interviewer at the rehab clinic was ironic. Sean Astin showed the chops of a great actor he shows now. Alyssa Milano is visually arresting in her bit part as Kimmy. Rachel Ticotin was gorgeous as usual as the female cop. The ending was devastating more for the fact that it provided another turning point in the film.
siobhann88 I must admit, I had seen this movie when it first came out, and I totally fell in love with Dermott Mulroney. This is an awesome movie and I too am waiting for it to come out on DVD so I can own it! Three thumbs up for me! There are so many famous actors, that people don't even know are in this movie. Lara Flynn Boyle, Alyssa Milano, Dermott Mulroney, Rikki Lake, Laura San Giacomo, Sean Astin, Balthazar Getty, Will Smith, Nancy McKeon...This movie is the best movie out there and if you haven't seen it, rent it, buy it, have a party and let everyone come over and watch it! I hope that everyone out there is ready for a good time! I give this movie 3 thumbs up and a nod, a bag of chips and a kiss!
