评分和评价

The narrative arc is predictable and some of the (great album-track) soundtrack songs had yet to be released in the summer of 1969 when the film is set. Still a sweet, sympathetic story of family and cultural upheaval at a Jewish bungalow colony in the Catskills during the time of the moon landing and the Woodstock festival, with a wonderful cast.

The time setting being in 1969 was very well portrayed, and the story over all was real and dynamic. The lessons to be learned were about love, and the many different ways that love effects the lives of those around you. What I really liked about this story, was the way that it was able to show the wide range of pleasures and also pains that come from investing in love. And because of the time setting and the groovy hippie influences, the movie didn't fall under the sappy love story category, it was sexy and down to earth. A glimpse into the early days of the 60's and 70's sexual revolution, and great example of how the people of the time were effected.

Fun to relate to, with a great soundtrack.
