A movie about young tough homeless gangs on the street in Hollywood in the early 90s. So which artist did they choose for the soundtrack to give it that early 90's westcoast street cred: Eazy-E, Ice-Cibe, Snoop, Dre? None of the above. Instead, who dominated the soundtrack with 5 songs playing every 10 minutes unnecessarily and annoyingly the entire movie? Melissa Etheridge. WHAT COULD THEY POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN THINKING???? Other than that, there were some decent young acting performances that would have made the movie worth watching, still probably would be if you're a true movie connoisseur. But trying to give it a street vibe, with the direction they consciously chose for this soundtrack, it's inescapable laughter trying to take this movie seriously. And that was the ultimate direction and intention for it. So it might be worth watching just to laugh at how hilarious it misses the mark almost a full 30 years later. I didn't see it until decades after it came out but lived in that era. I am fully confident I would have found it equally hilarious back then even as a 12 year old
