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.
Zach (Nick Stahl) wants to be a musician. But he really isn't very good. So mostly he just wanders around between his house, where he plays the guitar on the balcony in hopes of meeting someone else who plays guitar with him in anonymity, and the club, where he hopes to catch his big break.
Everyone else just wanders in and out of Zach's life, and it really doesn't get much better. I feel like I wasted a part of my life that I'll never be able to get back.
Rated R for sexuality, language and drug content. There is some implied sexuality as well. While it's probably best to keep the kids away, they'd be so bored that it shouldn't be difficult to do.
