Plot Summary
A pair of young girls learns that even the most insignificant actions can have lasting consequences in this music-driven take on teen culture. Influenced by the hip-hop thug lifestyle and seeking to explore life outside of their insulated, culturally homogenized suburb, pretty young teenagers Allison (Anne Hathaway - "Get Smart," "The Devil Wears Prada") and Emily (Bijou Phillips - "Almost Famous," "Hostel: Part II") set their sights on East L.A. to experience the "gangsta" lifestyle firsthand. By the time the pair meets some true-life Latino gang-bangers and realize just how far out of their element they really are, it may already be too late to turn back. Also starring Michael Biehn ("Terminator," "Grindhouse"), Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("The Lookout," "10 Things I Hate About You"), Emmy-nominee Freddy Rodriguez ("Grindhouse," "Poseidon"), Golden Globe-nominee Laura San Giacomo ("Pretty Woman," "Sex, Lies & Videotape") and Mike Vogel ("Cloverfield," "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre").

Rotten: You'd at least expect a decent exploitation movie from this material.
Rotten: Director Barbara Kopple strays into territory occupied by James Toback and Catherine Hardwicke.
Customer Reviews
Absolutely awful.
I'm not sure if we're supposed to discuss nudity in these reviews, but I'm guessing that it's a major reason why people might be interested in this film. Yet, not even the possibility of seeing Anne Hathaway or Bijou Phillips de-robed again was enough to get me to bring myself to watch this through to the end. It was just so bad that I gave up, walked out the room, and went to hang up some washing to dry instead. Offensively bad really. If you're thinking of watching this for the Anne Hathaway/Bijou Phillips minus clothes reasons, then I really wouldn't bother. A quick search of the web will provide the clips you need for free. If you're thinking of watching this for other reasons then seriously don't bother, I cannot think of any other reason to watch it (except maybe to show that 'Kids' wasn't that bad after all).
Anne's to p less
She shows her B00Bs in this movie. They're great, one of the best sets. The movie wasn't that good though. So-So
Good movie for people who can reflect before judging
Is on the surface an absurd teen movie but leaves you with your jaw on the floor wondering what just happened. Would recommend it to people with long attention spans or die heart anne hathaway fans.
