The film stars Jon Bon Jovi, Josh Charles, Joanna Going, Penelope Ann Miller, Annabella Sciorra, and JoBeth Williams.

In an AA support group, womanizing bartender Kevin is talking about how he thought his relationships with women would change after he stopped drinking.

Rebecca, a single woman new to the "small town" of San Francisco, applies for a bartender job at the same bar Kevin works at.

Nina also feels that Adam is not over his ex-girlfriend, Kate, who left him for another woman, Anne, after coming out as a lesbian.

Adam recognizes some truth in what Kevin says, but he still angrily smashes a shot glass against the bar wall before storming out.

Her first lesbian experience with Anne is interrupted by Kate who returns home early after finally coming out of the closet to her parents.

Nina, knowing Kevin's past indiscretions of dumping women after he sleeps with them and loses interest, does not believe his declaration and tells him she does not want to see him again.

Rebecca, hearing about everything that happened from Kevin, and knowing that Adam would not call her, goes to see him, and the two resume their relationship.

[2] In his review for Variety, critic Emanuel Levy wrote, "This love poem to San Francisco and its singles scene recalls Woody Allen’s cinematic infatuation with Manhattan, in a movie that attempts to integrate the city’s distinctive landscape and spirit into its episodic narrative.

In execution and structure, however, Little City is more in the vein of Cameron Crowe’s Seattle-set Singles, a seriocomic view of life, love and relationships within a clique of disparate but interconnected characters.

"[3] Levy praised the script, which he said "offers some sharp lines about San Francisco as a close-knit, often claustrophobic community, such as Adam’s observation that 'people who are smart and ambitious move to New York, people who are just smart move to San Francisco, and people who are just ambitious go to Los Angeles.

'"[3] He added, "While the entire felicitous cast rises to the occasion, and Bon Jovi and Charles endow their roles with charm, ultimately the film belongs to the women.
