Ensemble acting and a sparkling screenplay highlight the film.

Well drawn out characters in basically a plot-less movie. I would have liked to see the political transition between the 60s and the 80s, which is certainly touched upon, really delved into more.

A pretty entertaining, even if sappy, melodrama with a few hints of black comedy here and there. The cast is charismatic and the soundtrack is rife with classics, which makes for a very kinetic film.

Wry satirical comedy which seems to be nostalgic for the 60s, but is funny anyway.

Hopelessly sentimental.

One of the most boring movies I've ever seen. At least most terrible movies I can sit through. I was so tempted to turn this one off.

My first temptation was to dismiss this as a banal tale of hippies turned yuppies who do nothing but complain about their problems. As it progresses, though, it becomes clear that the rationalization and self absorption is what the movie's actually about and the individual characters are nowhere near as important as the human traits they express and the varied interaction we see. It still comes off a bit too much as a Hollywood film with its editing choices but a worthwhile watch.

It has a great cast. Pretty much all the scenes are disjointed and fragmented, which made things a bit difficult. It didn’t go as deep and dark as I’d have liked, but it had some good things to say about people, friendship, adulthood, life, death, love and all that good stuff.

Oddly ineffectual ensemble piece (all the stranger given such a strong cast and reliable director) which never really travels anywhere very interesting and takes its time getting there. Screenplay feels too contrived, and reflective monologues feel too polished and over-written. Having said that, any film that features Goldblum in a prominent role, and utilises an excellent 60s pop soundtrack so well, retains a certain level of interest, and occasional moments of insight help make it bearable.
