Pros: good acting

Cons: terrible script

The studios plan was to release this movie earlier this year, but plans got scraped. The movie had a great premise of rich teenagers wanting to be someone else. Anne Hathaway's character, Allison, is a latch-key girl who has parents in a rocky ma...rriage, and she justs wants to get out of her boredom. But her journey into East LA is the cause of her boyfriend looking for drugs. These teenagers suffer from low self esteem and hide it through drugs, sex, and acting like hiphop stars. The movie set up the characters, but unfortunately ironically loses itself once the girls return to East LA. The plot becomes simplified as the girls try to join the gang and end up with more than they want. Anne Hathaway does show depth in her character who is pretending to be something she's not. Everybody is also talking about her nude scenes, but I'm sorry, but the scenes do become hard to watch and you see these girls fall. The studios wanted something more with this movie and so did I. The disc does come with a supposed trailer makes the movie a cross between Traffic and KIDS, but fails. Read more Less
