Loudmouth Soup takes place over the course of a long dinner party thrown by Jason (Joe Mellis) and Catherine (Melanie Chapman), a married couple from New York whose recent feature-film effort landed them some buzz at Sundance. Now relocated to L.A., the pair throw a dinner part for some potential investors, including producer Charlie (Kevin Chamberlin), ambitious actress Blake (Nancy Bell), and surprisingly, Blake's superstar boyfriend, Sam (Michael James Reed). Blind-sided by the A-list guest, each diner tries to cozy up to the money man to try to attain some cash and credibility for his or her next project. The action in Loudmouth Soup was captured in near real time by a handful of video cameras; director Adam Watstein would provide plot suggestions to the performers when they walked off-camera. ~ Michael Hastings, Rovi

Critic Reviews
-
Raven Snook, Time Out New York
A low-budget skewering of Tinseltown that's derivative, superficial and way too long, even at just over 90 minutes.
-
Dana Stevens, New York Times
Loudmouth Soup, the second feature film from the director Adam Watstein, was shot in a single night with seven actors, eight cameras, no second takes and no script.
-
V.A. Musetto, New York Post
La-La Land is a nest of vipers. Who woulda guessed?
-
, New York Magazine
Excellent performances are the reason to watch this film.
-
Akiva Gottlieb, Village Voice
Loudmouth Soup perpetuates the same shallow myths about Los Angeles that it pretends to indict.
