When... Based on the book by Eddie Little, director Larry Clark's follow-up to KIDS (1995) is a gritty portrayal of a makeshift family of professional thieves on a cross-country crime spree. When small-time hoods Mel and Sid (Woods and Griffith) adopt two young hoodlums named Bobby and Rosie (Kartheiser and Gregson Wagner) in order to teach them the ropes of crime for the gain of cash and narcotics, Mel and Sid don't realize the implications of taking inexperienced workers under their wing. They soon realize, however, the dire consequences it can have. Griffith's understated performance as the heroin-addicted "den mother" was rightfully critically-acclaimed. [More]

2/4

Michael Dequina

Director Larry Clark has served up another gritty look at lowlife scum, but the results this time aren't nearly as fascinating.

Jeff Millar

A well-executed scene can be followed by another where Clark shows no sense of the tone of which he'd just been in such tight control.

As close to 'mainstream' as Clarks' ever going to get ... which isn't much.

With talent like James Woods involved on both sides of the camera, I expect more quality.

Liz Braun

Another Day In Paradise is so generally overwrought that the willing suspension of disbelief is not really an option. On the other hand, you may find yourself caring about the characters.

For a base, downtrodden ordeal Clark's film is one compelling trip of a movie.

Jeff Strickler

It's hard for Another Day in Paradise to bring anything new to the well-worn road traveled by thugs on the run. But director Larry Clark and an energetic cast keep things jumping in this morality tale about the down and dirty.
