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.

Reviews for London
Richards mistakes boorishness for drama, and the seemingly tendentious desire to be off-putting succeeds all too well.

Top CriticI 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
London ends up being exactly what it's about: an unwelcome guest with a hard-luck story nobody wants to hear.
02/10/06
A fiasco.
02/09/06
An aggravating twerp of an indie.
02/09/06
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 CriticI have seen all of these actors on better days in better movies, and I may have a novena said for them.
02/09/06
Top CriticLondon 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.
02/09/06
Perhaps the best compliment that can be paid to Hunter Richards’ directorial debut is that it nearly manages to make some of the most irritatingly shallow human beings on Earth seem tragic.
02/09/06
Hunter Richards' parade of sex, drugs and pretty young things is saved by the amazing cast of young talent assembled.
02/08/06
At one point, Syd (Chris Evans) says, "I just want something to turn the pain off. Give me something." That's the way I felt watching this movie.
02/07/06
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
Richards recognizes and exploits Evans's beauty, self-reflexively using it as a red herring.
02/05/06
A muscular ensemble piece with an accomplished cast wringing out their best in an emotionally strained screenplay."
02/02/06
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.
