Based on the play of the same name a decade earlier, this movie is all about the hippie, counter-culture generation of the late 1960s, fighting establishment and Vietnam. I can only guess it got made thanks in large part to the success of Grease. It's not as good as Grease but it's not a bad film. Some catchy music but it is an uneven film in tone and style. I was shocked when I saw Treat Williams as the lead and even more shocked to see how good he is.
Until about 10 minutes left in this film, I would have given it a 6/10 but those final ten minutes are really outstanding and where the film finally, to me, hits its stride, with great lyrics, music, imagery and story coming together to create a memorable finale.
7/10
