The breakdown: In 1980's Los Angeles, a lot of unhappy socialites try to find meaning to their hollow existence.  Based on a book by Bret Easton Ellis (American Psycho.)


Whew!  This movie sucked.  I saw it and I can honestly say I don't know what the point was.
Basically, it's just a whole bunch of Hollywood types or young socialites who are being their typical vain selves, who aren't happy with what they have, who have a lot of sex, and do a lot of drugs.
There are several stories all being told at once and what it amounts to is a lot of emptiness.  It's a lack luster, unengaging, unentertaining movie that should not be seen.
Please skip it.

1 out of 5 for having Chris Isaak in it, who I adore.  Otherwise a huge waste of time.
