What happens

Living the Dream is a 2006 comedy-drama film starring Sean Young, Christian Schoyen, and Danny Trejo. It was written by Christian Schoyen and Luis Fernandez Reneo from a story by Christian Schoyen and directed by Christian Schoyen and Allan Fiterman. It was produced by Allan Fiterman, Christian Schoyen and Christin Tellefsen. The production company was Rover Films. The Los Angeles Times review said; "It's downright misanthropic ...farcical drama with the most hostile cinematic view of Los Angeles since Crash. There is undeniable heart in Living the Dream, with its implicit criticism of mercenary values". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
