Only the great songs and cinematography make this film worthwhile. It's a musical about the hippie generation that was made in the late seventies but still gives the audiences an insight on their moral and political views and succeeds in doing it. However, the plot lacks substance and the acting is mostly bland; the film would have gone down the gutter if it wasn't for the excellent singers, songs and direction. For some reason this film is rated PG with nudity, drug use and other offensive material.
