    Urban drama about teen runaways on the streets of Hollywood features a dream cast of young actors (Will Smith makes his feature film debut here). Gritty juvenile delinquency film wants to be hard-hitting, but whenever something meaningful happens, the audience is subjected to tedious rock music by Melissa Etheridge and it becomes a music video. (She's credited with 5 songs on the soundtrack, but I defy anyone to tell them apart). Some nice performances, but ultimately a minor film.

    Great movie, full of stars. I hadn't seen this in years and just watched it again. It's harsh but realistic and extremely sad.

    "Where The Day Takes You" is about the homeless youth who come from all over the country to escape their dysfunctional families to live on the streets of Hollywood.It is here that this youth form surrogate families with other homeless youth. The movie is surprisingly honest about dangers of living on the street and yet portrays the real sense of community that this homeless youth shares with each other. There are so many famous actors, that people don't even know are in this movie. Lara Flynn Boyle, Alyssa Milano, Dermott Mulroney, Rikki Lake, Laura San Giacomo, Sean Astin, Balthazar Getty, Will Smith, Nancy McKeon. highly recommend this movie! It does make you appreciate what you have and makes you realize how some people, kids, can end up and what can happen to them.

    A great reason not to do drugs. My daughter will see this when she can understand it. One of the reasons I didn't do anything harder than weed.

    A great drama film about youth and the problems they face. Some of the kids are runaways and living in the city. A great cast in the film, the story is great, a message about drugs, prostitution and other things teen runaways face.

    This is one of those movies i have seem a hundred times, its all about street kids and there struggle to get by, their hardships but also there friendships, it has some pretty graphic seens but its real. The real truth about living on the streets, drugs, and all the nasty shit that comes with it

    A look at the life of runaways & teen homelessness...lots of up-and-coming stars from the early 90s are in this one--Will Smith, Riki Lake, Sean Astin makes a come back from "The Goonies." A little cheesy, but good nonetheless.
