Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
A low-rent answer to Robert Altmanâ(TM)s Short Cuts.
New York Times
Rating: D+ --
It's a production in search of a movie.
AV Club
Rating: 3/5 --
Oddly, halfway through when Freeland strains our credulity even further, the film finally feels fresh

Freeland's film offers a poor man's Los Angeles opus.

IGN Movies
Rating: 2/4 --
A bit like Robert Altman's Short Cuts (1993), taking a look at a cross-section of Los Angeles characters, though it runs less than half the length and, conversely, half the depth.

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.
