An atmosphere of the 1960s attitudes and values is set up well in this film, and there are some themes of maturity at hand, but otherwise there is little to compliment, unless one was there and can comment on nostalgic value. For a comedy, it is not very funny, nor amusing, with a few gags but no real jokes. For a drama, it is all a bit too disjointed to cut deep, with many different story-lines all over the place. All in all, the film is merely just a display of different events showing teenage angst and spirit, as opposed to a film that tells a solid story. Dreyfuss is fairly good, and it is satisfactory viewing, but it does not come recommended.
