With almost no lasting buzz and a box office loss, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Made for anyone nostalgic for their awkward years and anyone interested in what war does to people. It gets the awkwardness and the high stakes of being young. A good follow-up to The Holdovers or American Graffiti. It puts you in the middle of the fighting, and doesn't let you forget the cost.
- The mood
- Funny with heart.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 39 min.
- What might put you off
- Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.
It's the summer of 1965, and the members of the graduating class of upscale Westwood High are eager to reinvent themselves. Valedictorian Mary Beth wants to attend a liberal university. Surfer bum Stick plans to enlist to fight in Vietnam. Calvin lives in the poor Watts section of Los Angeles, which is slowly erupting in violence. As the summer nights grow long, they'll all be forced to make decisions that will affect the rest of their lives.
