Rating: C --
The characters aren't interesting, and the stories toggle between tawdry and ridiculous.

Sophomore writer/director Freeland doesn't quite feel like the host of this particular "garden party," but rather like the party's Sabrina, secretly spying from the sidelines.

Rating: 6/10 --
This ensemble piece works if you know Los Angeles. After all, it's very possible for a homeless kid, pot-smoking Realtor, young model and a number of perverts to cross paths in that town.

Their lives eventually intersect, but in more or less arbitrary ways.

Oddly, halfway through when Freeland strains our credulity even further, the film finally feels fresh

Rating: 2/5 --
Freeland's film offers a poor man's Los Angeles opus.

Product Description:
Los Angeles becomes the city of broken dreams in this indie drama. A 15-year-old girl (Willa Holland) comes to the town to escape her problems, but more issues await since everyone wants a piece of her. Nathan moved to L.A. to be a dancer, but he can't get past his gofer job. Meanwhile, his successful boss Sally (Vinessa Shaw) manipulates everyone around her to get exactly what she wants. GARDEN PARTY depicts a world where talent and beauty may have their value, but it's sex that truly sells.
