Cute movie In order to appreciate this movie and for what it has to offer, you have to have lived through the early 70s and be familiar with the times and current events. The costumes were spot on as well as the vintage cars, houses, interior decorations, etc. The sound track is very good. The acting is very good even though I have not heard of any of the young new actors. The cameos by the more famous actors are odd and don't give much to the story but give the movie that much more appeal. Sean Penn, Bradley Cooper, Tom Waits, etc. Even though there isn't much of a deep plot or much substance to it, it doesn't matter. The movie has parts that are cute, funny and appealing. I really enjoyed it. If you hate coming of age, mindless dramas, you won't appreciate this one. I loved it however.
