"An unexpectedly subtle coming-of-age film, Happiness Runs is also something of an allegory for Generation X's conservative reaction against the flower-power excesses of their baby boomer progenitors." - Christian Blauvelt

Reeking with psychedelia and usual teen angst it's worth a go. The characters, especially the central young ones are convincing and it's interesting to look at generation tension from the other side. Yet the strong bias of the movie in order to reveal hypocrisy of flower people doesn't leave a room to breathe.
