Living by begging, theft and prostitution, this loose-knit community forms an extended family. King (Dermot Mulroney) is the unofficial patriarch looking after the motley crew of addicts and runaways. He especially works hard to keep Greg (Sean Astin), a troubled boy, away from a local drug dealer. But all King's street smarts are not enough to protect his friends from danger. Director Marc Rocco's 1992 film features a dream cast of young actors before they were stars. [More]

Reviews for Where the Day Takes You
Hovering between art and soicology, realism and stylization, Rocco's film seldom finds its right tone, but it serves as a showcase for a young cohort of actors including Will Smith, Sean Astin, Dermot Mulroney, Lara Flynn Boyle and Balthazar Getty.
Nothing new here to be glommed, but this slickly done film is nevertheless hard-hitting.
