    Critics consensus In spite of its young leading man's heroic efforts to hold it all together, a muddled message prevents The Basketball Diaries from compelling as a cautionary tale. More reviews on Rotten Tomatoes
      • Although it masquerades as a cautionary tale about the horrors of heroin, this epic of teen-age Angst is more accurately seen as a reverential wallow in the gutter of self-absorption. When it’s not boring you with its spittle-encrusted delineation of the agonies of addiction, “Basketball Diaries” is romanticizing the ultimate effects of drug use.
