A misfired attempt at provocation and the exploration of philosophical thought, London is little more than an immature display of male bonding on speed.

London is a drug laden adventure that centers on a party in a New York loft where a young man is trying to win back his ex-girlfriend.
What are people saying?
What are critics saying?
For those who enjoy fashion-model-looking twentysomethings yelling at each other in bathrooms while doing too much cocaine, voila! Heaven is a place called London.
Syd's (Chris Evans) emotional tailspin is embarrassingly banal, and his assertion that "everybody here hates me" quickly applies to the audience as well.
The awful crank comedy "Spun" (2002) still ranks as the most dehumanizing youth picture of the decade, but this New York drama by first-time director Hunter Richards is a close second.
New York Daily News by Jack Mathews
First-time writer-director Hunter Richards? London is even worse torture than it sounds. It includes flashbacks that actually demonstrate just how miserable a jerk the main character is.
TV Guide Magazine by Maitland McDonagh
The film delivers lots of high-pitched hysteria but never manages to make its spoiled protagonists interesting.
London has a distinct Off-Off-Broadway feel. There's a stagebound quality to its handful of claustrophobic locations, its endless assault of intense coke talk, and its third-rate invocation of David Mamet, David Rabe, and Neil LaBute.
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
Bad movie. Ugly movie.
