I ask whoever may read this to please read the Larry Silverstein review titled 'Preposterous'. This writer is far more level headed in his review than I could ever hope to be.
Everyone, EVERYONE, in this movie is just plain creepy. Even the story is creepy! We are suppose to believe two drugged out street urchins suddenly clean themselves up and are so pretty - no. The first giveaway was the pure white straight teeth and the fake smudges of fake dirt. And the rich folks clothes fit them perfectly! No! And the girl who in one scene is so drugged out she going to let herself be 'used' by 4 thugs. Then she watches a family video found in the fancy house and suddenly she has transformed into a meek virginal debutante who is ready to sacrifice her life for the 'nice rich family'. No! And then the rich families son falls in love with her and just happens to find her in the movie theatre - just silly.
Even the underground drug lord was more like a comic book character. Honestly did Martin Weisz actually view the finished movie? I think not. And Richard Dreyfuss must be 'in need' to do that role as the ever-so-cool dad because he seemed ambivalent in every word he tried to speak.
Bad movie, too long.

First, the director and the writer both need to be permanently banned from making any more stupid movies. Nothing is good about this. Bad acting, bad directing, bad art direction. Nothing is convincing and everything screams pretentious. Prop design and costume designers are beyond pathetic. I wonder if the whole crew got recruited from a local church stage acting somewhere. I got aggravated watching these fools delivering bad acting and bad plots. Did they not know the viewers are not as stupid as they wanted us to be? Who are the fooling? It all goes back to the sh**ty screenwriter and equally bad director getting together luring numb skulled producers to agree to fund this pathetic movie. I wish them all go to hell for wasting my time and making this nonsense movie.
Well, that's nearly two hours I'll never get back. This movie is bad on so many levels. No time was taken to develop the characters, a preposterous plot, bad writing, it's just bad all around. Gabriella Wilde is the only watchable one in the film. While it features other rather talented actors, there's only so much you can do with such poor writing. I can't believe Richard Dreyfuss would lend his name to this awful movie.
As a side note: Could we please dispense with the clichéd British bad guy?? In this film especially, I felt I was watching Austen Powers at times, it was so ridiculous.

Was too fakey right from the start. Most dumpster diving streeters look nothing like our Hollywood made up with make up, eye candy actors. The ripping off of a small deli scenes were Holly stereotyping; the grungy look was too wardrobe department shopping; the dirty faces/bodies looked like what a make up artist would create with a brush and the same medium gray water based paint - brush painting in all the right places. More laughable than real. The matrix slow motion effects were as cheap as the very fake punches being thrown in one scene. The owners' reactions to home invasion and serious theft - "What's for dinner!" Son in owner's family predictably and unimaginatively falls for our now magically transformed theft girl (Cinderella after a bath and stolen clothes.) and like all love stories (well, Hollywood love stories) he never truly leaves her.
Roughly equivalent to daytime tele soap opera production if that is one's entertainment interest.

I grew me a pair of cheese-balls during this movie.... WOW. There where moments when I thought the movie could still be saved by a major twist.. But they just didn't seem to get there en my cheese-balls began to grow out of proportions. I wouldn't say 'worst movie ever' but it is definitely nominated... What all above has been said already.. Cheap storyline.. And they looked like hipster Cyber-Goth's to me instead of homeless people.. If a real homeless person would see this it would be a real shame. And the matrix porn-scene made me laugh my ass of. More like a comedy to me. And whats with the 'Robert Smith' reincarnation? Well, if I where you I still would definitely watch this just to laugh your ass of. At least I did.
