A waste of good acting.

Rating: Null/10 (12 March 2006)

As a Mexican-American born and raised in the Los Angeles area, I thought this film was shallow and very small in scope. The message I got was "everyone in L.A. is racist and corrupt." The storyline was predictable and contrived -- not far from being a soap-opera. I mean, give me a break -- L.A. has a dense population, and yet these characters seem to keep running into each other in a matter of two-three days? I go weeks -- maybe months -- without bumping into people I know -- go figure! Furthermore, it was not truly representative of the cultural mosaic of Los Angeles; where were the Jewish and gay communities in all of this? They are two extremely large communities, and yet it was as if they didn't exist. Hmmm... what does that say about the person who wrote this screenplay? Interesting. Overall,it was a mediocre film. They could have simply removed the cursing and nude scene and aired it on the LIFETIME channel. Not Oscar worthy, in my opinion.
