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

...if you don’t mind watching people who are better looking than you coking up for 90 minutes...

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.

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

Top Critic '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.

Top Critic I've seen more ferocious, and entertaining, spectacles at Raffi concerts.

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.

Top Critic [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!

Top Critic 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.

Top Critic 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.

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