Editorial Review:
Homelessness is a serious problem, but this film by Mark Rocco made it look like an alternative lifestyle that, if not for drugs and prostitution, would be kind of cool. Set in Los Angeles, the film centers on a group of homeless teens led by King (Dermot Mulroney), who tries to look out for his younger charges. But he can't keep some of them from getting involved in drug dealing, which leads to violence and melodrama involving evil drug dealer Kyle MacLachlan. Mulroney has a poignant quality, as does Lara Flynn Boyle as a runaway girl he falls for. On the other hand, Sean Astin is stereotypical as a strung-out kid who spoils everything. That's Will "Fresh Prince" Smith as a legless kid in a couple of scenes. --Marshall Fine

This movie was released when I was a teen myself and I have a copy of it now. It is one of the few movies I carry with me for life. It is amazing. You almost feel like you are one the characters.
I identified with the starvation, drug addiction, and normal rejection that every teenager goes through, homeless or not.
Don't miss it.
Rating: - Awesome Movie~
I watched this movie 11 years ago and loved it-all of high school friends at the time watched it over and over with me-my best and I still drop lines from this movie to this day-it is awesome and so undiscovered. I am ordering it on dvd now because I am sick of seeing my dusty vhs copy! I wish some of these actors would be questioned about this movie from their past-it is quite a rare find. The music is actually 90% Melissa Etheridge-very haunting songs-"sleep while I drive" is my favorite-if you ... Read More
Rating:  - An eye opener for teens.
This movie made so much of an impression on my older daughter a few years ago that she wanted our youngest to see it. Teens who have the impression that a big city and freedom from parents, school, etc. is an easy path to happiness and success are shown the harsh reality of life on the street.
Rating:  - Dermot Mulroney scores perfection in Where The Day Takes You
Dermot Mulroney (Wedding Date, Young Guns) plays King, who gets out of lock up and is back on the streets living under bridges and finding out his girlfriend has been playing around. He meets a girl named Heather, played by Lara Flynn Boyle (Happiness, Since You've Been Gone) and he shows her the ropes. He also goes to interview sessions as part of community service and is interviewed throughout the movie by the interviewer, played by Laura San Giacomo (sex, lies and videotape, The Stand). The cast ... Read More
Rating: - THIS IS A GREAT MOVIE.
This is a great movie that is unfortunately unknown to most people. I guarantee all doubters will be pleasantly surprised, I was. It is such an all around good film that you really need to put it under a microscope to criticize it. But don't take my word for it, watch it yourself and Im sure you will agree with me. There are not many movies that I deem are worth repeated viewings, but this is one of them. BRAVO to all involved!!
