Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I don't know what everyone is raving about this movie. It's supposd to capture this slive of American in the 1970s in this "dreamy quality". I have no idea wha this movie was about, but it sure as hell wasn't about the 1970s. I grew up in the 70s and nothing that happened in this movie was remotely like any experiences I ever had. And I had a helluva lot iof experiences in the 70s. I think people get all pumped up with this "king's new clothes" mentality when they think they're supposed to like movies because someone with some sort of cache in the industry says it's a great movie. It's not a great movie. It's odd. And unrelateable. And what the heck was the pajama party on stage in the begining about? It had no relevancy and I couldn't think of any kind of movie or show it might have been satirizing. The focus was so narrow, on this unlikely pairing of a 25-yr old woman and a 15 yr old guy (which, BTW is statutory rape and if the sexes were reversed, we'd be hearing all kinds of "me too" stuff about it), that it couldn't possibly encompass all the cultural icons of the seventies like movies like "Dazed and Confused" did so well. THAT movie was a slice of my teen years. Not worth the rental fee.
