London lies
London is yet another Hollywood movie about rich degenerate teenagers. This movie begins when Syd (Chris Evans) attends the going-away party of ex-girlfriend London (Jessica Biel) at the home of a friend (Isla Fisher). Before arriving at the party, Syd stops to see a friendly bartender, Mallory (Joy Bryant), Bateman (Jason Statham),the friendly local drug dealer. By the time they reach the party, both Syd & Bateman have ingested heroic quantities of illegal drugs and alcoholic beverages. Its a miracle that either one of them can stay awake.
At first, Syd & Bateman are content to hide in the bathroom talking about all sorts of things until eventually Syd gets up the courage to talk to London. Despite all the drugs and alcohol that he has consumed, Syd is able to talk to London in a perfectly sober manner.
London is a movie that was promoted as being a romantic love story. In actuality, it is anything but. Most of the actual movie takes place in the bathroom and concerns Syd & Bateman’s idiotic conversations about innumerable subjects, none of which had anything to do with love or for that matter about London herself. The end result is a movie that is totally contrived and ultimately nonsensical.
How does Hollywood keep churning this drivel out?
