Reviews for London
London ends up being exactly what it's about: an unwelcome guest with a hard-luck story nobody wants to hear.
02/10/06
...witless and pointless.
02/27/06
I haven't seen so much nasty stuff ingested by so many people since ... well, college. But at least the folks like this that I used to know were kind enough to overdose at a certain point; here, they just keep talking. Or, more accurately, whining.
02/10/06
This is a story about people who have no one to blame but themselves. The same goes for the filmmakers.
02/10/06
The only thing more tedious than stoned people philosophizing about the existence of God is boys who can't bring themselves to say 'I love you.'
02/11/06
I've seen more ferocious, and entertaining, spectacles at Raffi concerts.

...ultimately comes off as a well-intentioned failure that admittedly might hold some appeal for fans of the various actors...
10/03/08
For those who enjoy fashion-model-looking twentysomethings yelling at each other in bathrooms while doing too much cocaine, voila! Heaven is a place called London.
09/20/05
Top CriticRichards recognizes and exploits Evans's beauty, self-reflexively using it as a red herring.
02/05/06
Syd's emotional tailspin is embarrassingly banal, and his assertion that 'everybody here hates me' quickly applies to the audience as well.
02/07/06
It's not so interesting to watch people on cocaine babble back and forth at each other.
02/15/06
Be very afraid.
04/22/08
Don't you hate it when you're holed up in a bathroom with two egocentric guys snorting coke and kibitzing about the meaning of life and their failing love lives? Me, too.
02/10/06
Richards mistakes boorishness for drama, and the seemingly tendentious desire to be off-putting succeeds all too well.
02/10/06
Top CriticLondon has nothing to do with London. It has nothing to do with anything, except the same heavy-breathing preppy Walter Mitty fantasy that drove A Million Little Pieces.
02/10/06
A misfired attempt at provocation and the exploration of philosophical thought, London is little more than an immature display of male bonding on speed.
02/09/06
Top CriticAn acting exercise (and not a very interesting one) disguised as a film.
03/01/07
[The] script is so free of genuine insight into his beautiful but childish characters that it's hard to work up any sympathy for their shallow, juvenile problems.
02/10/06
London is a coke-snorting catastrophe, full of endless scenes of chiseled morons trying to be Socrates. You're better off getting relationship advice from a Magic 8-ball.
