Incredibly underrated. Some parts are just amazing. "Let the Sunshine In" sends shivers down my spine whenever I hear just a couple bars of it.

It's not really Milos Forman's fault - he's directed a faithful version of the famous 1960's rock musical, Hair. The problem is, Hair sucked from the beginning. Intensely unlikable characters and grating music abound. An understandable product of its time, to be sure - but not one worth re-experiencing in this day and age.

Filthy hippies singing about how they'd rather grow their hair, get stoned and go to orgies than join the draft and go to Vietnam. Kinda goes without saying in my opinion.

Now you have to be in the mood for this - so when you next want a blast of the 70's and more waistcoats than you can shake a stick at (at least for some of the film) try this one.

See, I've made it my mission to write a mini review for every movie I've rated, but there are some movies I've seen about which I neither care nor have anything to say. This is one of those movies. It simply doesn't interest me at all to try to analyze it or explore my own feelings about it.

Somewhat less stupid than “Grease”, which is not a high bar, and because it has at least to hint at the musical style of the counterculture some of the songs are almost good. Nevertheless, made at the end of the 1970s it is just a document of the almost total incorporation of the 60s protest movement into the barely changed (in many economic respects, worsened) status quo.

Works well for about an hour as a free-form, exuberant portrait of the hippie scene in 60s NY, with terrific song and dance work from the cast (who knew Williams was such a great hoofer and singer?) Unfortunately the sunshine can't come in forever, as the second half becomes more somber and attempts a half-hearted stab at some anti-war musings (covered more successfully in ACROSS THE UNIVERSE, which resembles this film in some ways). Good fun overall, especially for the terrific score.

Milos Forman is a bonafide legend of cinema and, in Hair, he shows almost peerless command of the craft by telling a very trippy story while perfectly executing a classic twist ending.

It's not fair. It's not. I want to love this movie. Hair has some of the all-time great music of its era, and this movie has some of the all-time best arrangements and performances of said great music. But the actual storyline just does not hold up, because the movie (unwisely) tries to create a patchwork narrative that simply didn't exist in the original show and was never meant to.

An interminable first half of corny musical numbers helped by a second half that casts the idealism in a rather darker light. As I suppose you'd have to do, making a hippie musical in 1979.

I used to really, really love it a few years ago. I made tribute videos with friends. It's probably the movie I watched the most often if you don't include childhood films. I watched it again a few months ago and I didn't really like it (maybe because of nostalgia). I still think that the dancing, costumes and etc are wonderful and I feel like I owe alot to this movie so it gets a high score.

Its most impressive achievement is threading a cohesive narrative through the stage version's virtually unstructured collection of songs. Like that version, it deserves credit 4 drawing a pretty deep line in the sand, challenging the sympathies of any viewer (myself included) who loathes stereotypical hippies brandishing simplistic &misguided ideas. Still, some of the scenes& songs r great (tho the lyrics say little) & its not often u'll find a film willing2 take sides as boldly as this one does

A lively and colorful adaptation of the original musical production. The stand-out in this 70's flick is not only the catchy music that doesn't age but the electrifying performance by Treat Williams.

I don't use to like musicals. In this case it's not different but I liked some musical scenes, however, most of them was really boring. Cut off most of the musical parts, then you'll have a nice movie.

The first 45 minutes of the movie is kind of a drag but after that it manages to pick up, closing with a shocking, and powerful, ending that makes up for the mediocrity that came before it. I think my biggest gripe is that a good portion of the earlier dance numbers just look like random people randomly dancing without any choreography or anything, as the movie progresses it gets better though.

In its initial release I hated this movie, because it wasn't HAIR at all (I'd seen the original touring company, so I knew); instead, Forman took the basic materials of the show and remade them into a kind of '60s time capsule. Characters were changed, songs were cut, the "plot" was strengthened (somewhat), and the conflict between audience and actors was dramatized. Since its DVD release, my feelings have changed completely. How else could HAIR have been filmed at all? Mostly worth your time.

Expected a lot more from this. It was just another musical really, with the only really memorable song being Age of Aquarius. I'd heard this was very much better than it ended up being so I was kinda disappointed.. Though not at all sad I watched it. If you like musicals, check it out. If not, don't bother.
