Sunset Strip (2000) Review

The tagline for this movie says that it is a comedy that takes place in 24 hours on the Sunset Strip in 1972. I think those facts are correct. Except I don't recall laughing. So you might not want to consider it a comedy. The trailer mentions that the lives of six friends intersect, except some of them don't seem to know each other, so I don't know if that's exactly true either.

What does appear to be true is that a handful of people (unless you only have five fingers per hand, in which case it might be two handfuls) are living in or about 1972 in the Sunset Strip area of Hollywood, and this movie tells you about what they do during a roughly 24 hour period. What it doesn't do is say why you should care, and in the end, there didn't seem to be much reason why you should.

About Celluloid Heroes

Welcome to Celluloid Heroes! Here you will find movie reviews of all shapes and sizes. No stone is left unturned, and that is meant quite literally. In fact, you are probably quite unlikely to find the best of the best, as that's something that you can find elsewhere. Here you're more likely to find the dregs of the movie world than anything else.

As to the name? It's actually from a song by The Kinks, and while it may or may not have something directly to do with movies, it does mention quite a few movie stars and things that make you think about movies, and well, it just seemed appropriate. Hopefully you'll agree, and if not, I suspect it won't get in the way too much.

Thanks for visiting, enjoy your stay, and come back often..
