Not much happens but it's fun nonetheless
You know, it was a welcome treat to see a film about this seminal event that isn't about the event. The Jewish mother from hell, the "good" son and the gentle dad were all unlikely heroes at a time when peace was a lifestyle and people thought music could save the world. Not bad messages. Having said that you realize why everyone hates hippies. The only reason why this is rated R is because of the frontal nudity. I'd let my teen see it with the caveat that casual drug use isn't fun and games. There are some real casualties from that time in history. Some of them sleep in the park not far from our house.

Negative 5 stars
My husband and I had a rare date night last night and chose to spend it with dinner and a movie "Taking Woodstock". While the dinner was great, the movie was most unpalatable. Unless you're are interested in seeing a movie about a concert... that never shows the concert... or a movie about a homosexual nerdy Jewish guy who walks around basically the whole time making completely random conversation with people and a few less than par kissing scenes... or a movie where a Vietnam Veteran suffering from obvious post-traumatic stress syndrome suddens flashes back to reality just in time to slide down a muddy hill... (total anti-climax).. Then I don't recommend you seeing this film. Negative 5 stars in my opionion.
