Adam Horovitz, of Beastie Boys fame, plays a troublesome teen who is shipped off by his wealthy parents to an institute for "problem" youths.

Only by extricating himself from the influence of Bloomfield does Horovitz have any chance for redemption--and only by undergoing a domestic reversal of his own is Sutherland truly able to aid the boy.

 deseretnews.com - Movie review: Lost Angels | Deseret Morning News Web edition
The focus is on Adam Horovitz (of the rap group Beastie Boys), whose mother tells him he's going to the institution for a brief checkup, but who actually has committed him.
When he realizes what's going on Horovitz gets violent and is subdued.
Horovitz is quite convincing as the basically good kid who has rebelled because his parents are such self-centered wackos, and Sutherland is brilliant as the pained psychiatrist who won't trade off his ethical oaths for insurance premiums.

When the Beastie Boys released Licensed To Ill in 1986, no one could have guessed that a silly Jewish hip-hop trio from New York—King Ad-Rock (Adam Horovitz), Mike D (Michael Diamond), and MCA (Adam Yauch)—would outlast their own novelty, much less become one of the most innovative groups in hip-hop.

Rather than culminating in violence, Hudson’s picture ends on a positive note as the film’s protagonist (Horovitz) amends his once self-destructive lifestyle thanks to the guidance of his dedicated psychiatrist.
(Horovitz’s peers, who experience no adult intervention, undergo no such change.) As such, the contrast (and message) behind both films becomes strikingly clear.

 Beastie Boys: Paul's Boutique ---Ink Blot Magazine
Formed in New York City in 1981 by Mike Diamond and Adam Yauch, with drummer Kate Schellenbach and guitarist John Berry, The Beastie Boys began as straight-ahead punk rock band, joining the burgeoining underground club scene.
In 1983, Schellenbach and Berry left, and Adam Horovitz joined; one year later they joined forces with aspiring record moguls Rick Rubin and Russell Simmons and their fledgling Def Jam Records.
Their debut album, License to Ill, was released in 1986, and the mix of heavy metal riffs, punk attitude, and hip hop sensibility made the album an overnight sensation and the best-selling rap album of the 1980's.

 dOc DVD Review: Beastie Boys Video Anthology (2000)
Despite the fact the Beastie Boys (Mike Diamond, Adam Yauch, Adam Horovitz) were musically active in the early 80s as a loud, low-budget punk band, it's without question that their moment of true emergence was in 1986 with the release of their first, full-length album License To Ill.
The moments when directors are contacted by phone is very weird to say the least, but it certainly is a break from the norm of commentaries and provides some laughs as well.
In one instance, Adam Bernstein (director of the video Hey Ladies) is contacted and doesn't believe it's Criterion, but rather a prank by one of his friends.

The Beastie Boys -- Adam "MCA" Yauch (born August 5, 1964), Michael "Mike D." Diamond (born November 20, 1965) and Adam "Adrock" Horovitz (born October 31, 1966) -- have collectively grown as a group, as artists, and equally as human beings over the past decade or so since they first broke onto the music scene.
The newfound hardcore punk rockers got their start while playing a gig at Adam Yauch's 17th birthday party and eventually found themselves onstage at local NYC venues, as the opening act for legendary punk bands Bad Brains and Reagan Youth.
During this time, the band began its early transformation and guitarist John Berry was replaced by Adam Horovitz (formerly of The Young & The Useless).
