I saw this movie in early 90s, and it stayed with me, the plight of street kids, their small pleasures, their drug addiction and especially the sad ending of this movie.
It is cruel what life can do to abandoned children. A fine spirited person like Dawn (Applegate) deserves better, but doesn't get it.
You'd watch this movie for Applegate - She radiates in this role. The movie could've been better shot and wish a better quality copy is available on DVD. What I could get to watch was ripped from a VCR.
If you don't like sad endings - skip this movie - You'd be rattled at the sad reality of street kids and their exploitation.
But, this movie deserves far higher than the 5.5 score it has in IMDb right now. I'd rate it at 8.
