Synopsis: When Syd (Chris Evans) learns that his ex-girlfriend London (Jessica Biel) is leaving New York without telling him, he responds by impulsively crashing her going away party. Once there fear catches... When Syd (Chris Evans) learns that his ex-girlfriend London (Jessica Biel) is leaving New York without telling him, he responds by impulsively crashing her going away party. Once there fear catches up to him, rather than confront her, he holes up in the bathroom with a pile of cocaine and Bateman (Jason Statham), an enigmatic Englishman he just met. As the two engage in a drug-fueled conversation that runs the gamut from entropy to S&M to the meaning of life, Syd struggles to work up the nerve to talk to London before it's too late. Writer-director Hunter Richards' directorial debut, LONDON, is an alternately hilarious and harrowing meditation on life, religion, sex and love, told from the perspective of a young man cast adrift after losing the one thing he cares about. LONDON challenges us to reexamine our most deeply held beliefs. It also offers a window into a generation of affluent young adults born to the excesses of the 1980s and now searching for meaning in their materially full but spiritually bereft lifestyles. --© Samuel Goldwyn Films [More]

...ultimately comes off as a well-intentioned failure that admittedly might hold some appeal for fans of the various actors...

An acting exercise (and not a very interesting one) disguised as a film.

London is a very simple character piece that is not for every taste. I recommend the film, but I fully expect some that see it based on my recommendation will curse my name come the end credits.

Grating and wildly unpleasant from beginning to end, London is perhaps one of the least entertaining films that I can recall seeing.

London's pretensions far outstrip its dorm-level contemplation of life's big issues.

It's not so interesting to watch people on cocaine babble back and forth at each other.

Stephen Whitty

'You are so annoying!' our hero screams in the heroine's face, halfway through London. 'You are 10 times more annoying than me!' our heroine quickly answers. They're both right.

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.'

The title refers to the name of one of a grouping of some of the most numbingly self-absorbed and obnoxious characters ever assembled in a single film.

Maitland McDonagh

[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.

Boy meets girl, boy loses girl, boy spends hours in a bathroom snorting a mother lode of cocaine while annoying everyone within earshot with his tales of woe. Sounds like a great idea for a movie. Let's do it!

Let's hope this movie hasn't come out too early in the year to be remembered for a well-deserved Razzie.

London 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.
