The characters aren't interesting, and the stories toggle between tawdry and ridiculous.

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.

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

The result is a movie impossible to pigeonhole and one even more difficult to describe, and to say there hasn't been anything else quite like it this year certainly wouldn't be a lie.

A low-rent answer to Robert Altmanâ(TM)s Short Cuts.

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

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

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.

It's a production in search of a movie.

A bit like Robert Altman's Short Cuts (1993), taking a look at a cross-section of Los Angeles characters, though it runs less than half the length and, conversely, half the depth.

If we're meant to take these threads as a tapestry of L.A., then Freeland clearly needs to stop watching Robert Altman DVDs and go outside to see what the real world is actually like.
