DVD Synopsis
A pair of naïve young girls learn that even the most insignificant actions can have lasting consequences in this music-driven take on teen culture starring Anne Hathaway and Bijou Phillips and directed by two-time Oscar-winning filmmaker Barbara Kopple. Influenced by the hip-hop thug lifestyle and seeking to explore life outside of their insulated, culturally homogenized suburb, pretty young teenagers Allison (Hathaway) and Emily (Phillips) set their sights on East L.A. to experience the "gangsta" lifestyle firsthand. By the time the pair meet some true-life Latino gang-bangers and realize just how far out of their element they really are, it may already be too late to turn back. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

While the movie was a very surprising role for Ann Hathaway, she played the part really well. The movie portrays gangster life with drugs, partying, cops, the whole shebang, as well as those attempting to imitate ganster life and not knowing what they are getting themselves into. Some of the parts were a little rough to watch, would not suggest for anything but mature adults.

Totally different side of Anne Hathaway - she's a rebellious upper middle class teen attracted to the dangerous gang lifestyle in LA. Very realistic portrayal makes some moments almost painful to watch.
