    Shows the lives of some kids that are on the brink of poverty go thru the motions of their lives by not working and smoking pot..But its not even as exciting as that. In fact its just plain boring. The ONLY scenes that Rosario dawson is in-- which last 14 min of the whole flick -are halfway decent.Why they put her name in there and only give her 14minutes of film time is false advertising , misleading and gives false hope that the film will be good...which is far from being even mediocre.

    Political piece of junk. The whole movie is about poor people doing drugs and then at the end they all have a rally for health care and an end to poverty...maybe they should try getting a job or maybe not spending their hard earned hooking money on drugs. What, no jobs in the inner city? Move!

    It was a waste of time and I just saw about half of it.
