Johns
"Two Thumbs Up!" -Siskel & Ebert
Luke Haas (Mars Attacks!, Witness) and David Arquette (Scream 1 & 2, Dream with the Fishes) star in this gritty and poignant look at the world of male prostitutes. johns takes the two through the course of a single day on the streets - hustiling for money and love, hoping for a little decency. John (Arquette), a veteran of the boulevard befriends Donner (Hass), a rookie to the streets who looks to John for advice and friendship. John knows that there are no true friends on the street - everyone is out for themselves, and you can only rely on one person: yourself. But, when the ingenious Donner naively tries to help John, he inadvertently sets the stage for an unforgettable climax. The haunting and evocative score by blues legend Charles Brown perfectly reflects the mood on the street of Hollywood's Santa Monica Boulevard.

After seeing this movie I understand why David Arquette is no-longer acting. There are believable characters, strange and mysterious characters, and saintly characters. But Mr. Arquette's performance never quite surpassed "elementary." Lukas Haas and the other host of characters that inhabit this film are well worth watching, just put the blinders on whenever Mr. Arquette comes on and you should have a good time.Well Done - lmav1
This is a well-acted story that only scratches the surface of the ugly world of johns and hustling. David Arquette and Lukas Haas embody two sympathic charaters - Arquette the street-wise hustler and Haas his good-hearted side kick. Together they create a movie about 2 johns who want to escape from "the boulevard" - one for just a day at a fancy hotel; the other, permanently in a new city with real jobs. Ultimately, it is "the boulevard" that wins.
