 Editor's Note
 Acclaimed director Barbara Kopple's (HARLAN COUNTY, USA) feature stars Anne Hathaway as Allison, a rich teenager who runs riot in Los Angeles after a mixture of boredom and rebellion leads her to a likeminded gang with trouble in mind. One fateful night causes Allison and her friend Emily (Bijou Phillips) to seek out the tough Latino guy Hector (Freddy Rodriguez), whom Allison falls for. But Hector's dangerous lifestyle is like nothing Allison has ever experienced, and she soon finds herself deep in an unfamiliar world that she struggles to escape from.

| | Professional Reviews | Sight and Sound "[F]ast-paced, heavily soundtracked....[With] colourful, well-performed characters..." 12/01/2006 p.58Variety.com 6 of 10 "Slumming for Dummies" would be a better title for Havoc, an earnest, semi-gritty tale of bored rich girls from Pacific Palisades teasing tattooed Latino drug dealers in East Los Angeles. Penned by Traffic scribe Stephen Gaghan and helmed by veteran documaker Barbara Kopple, handsomely mounted pic about morally fluid kids with largely absentee parents features gifted young thesps acting up a foul-mouthed storm and material that zigzags between convincing and trying way too hard. Forthright nudity by nubile leads Anne Hathaway and Bijou Phillips should make this a popular video item... - Lisa Nesselson
