I don't know why, but I just love depressing g movies, such as "requiem for a dream", "trainspotting", "natural born killers" and "christiane f". This movie is depressing and great a the same time. It casted actors known for jolly and friendly characters (like Sean Astin from "Goonies" and Will Smith from "Fresh Prince"), and challenges them to portray hopeless kids who are self destructive and refuse help from the adult world.The story is about this pack of teenagers who are surviving in the streets without taking showers or changing clothes (despite having those luxuries available in charities), and they live mostly under a bridge. The first thought in my mind is that that place probably must be rat infested, but the kids seem to enjoy their lifestyle.It is hard to understand why they live like that, but the movie doesn't judge. It doesn't try to say whether they are good or bad, it just depicts their reality.

This is one of the best movies I've ever seen,because I like movies that show all the types of emotions that living on the streets can give you. Great movie! And if you liked this, I'd also recommend, 'Toy soldiers' and 'that was then this is now' Lub this movie!!!! seriously evri1, you should watch this, it's so good. The performances of all the actors, actresses were amazing and they captured the feelings and moods of kids that don't really have a home to go to, or a bed to sleep in. I really think they pulled all the kids in this movie off of the streets and stuck them in front of a camera and just told them to do what they normally do because they were so good.

Moving film with issues that people who have been in the same situations will be able to relate to. Sean Astin(Greg) was really good in this film he played his part well and you feel for him and try to understand how it must feel living life the way they all do on the streets. Great cast line-up and it was good to see Will Smith in there. All the characters seemed real not just movie stars playing homeless kids.

Where the day takes you I found to be a really interesting film. Seeing all those big names (Sean Astin, Will Smith, Dermot Mulroney & Rikki Lake) before they all really became famous was great. They all played thier parts amazigly well and the way the movie was done was great. Marc Rocco should be proud. I found it very true to the way life on the street is and think more movies like this should be done, but I suppose it's just that every so often you find one of these movies, and that they're unreplaceable.
