| Entertaining Yet Uneven | |
| I've watched the miniseries on VH1 and I truly love it. I think it's a great history lesson and entertaining at that. I wasn't there, so I can't tell you how accurate it is. However, I found Michael to be a bit too modern. For most of the movie, it looked like he had wandered onto the set from Friends. Everytime he was on the screen, all I could think about was how he looked like he was in the wrong decade. Some of the other scenes, like the Woodstock scene, seemed trite and overdone. But overall, I enjoyed the story, the characters and of course, the music! | |
 The '60s: Great Movie from Beginning to End!! | |
| I absolutely LOVE this movie!! I've always been fascinated with the "decade that changed America forever", even though I wasn't born until 1973. The film has an excellent cast, and I especially liked Josh Hamilton's performance as Michael Herlihy...intelligent, sensitive, very socially conscious...and VERY cute!! I also watched with interest the relationship between Katie Herlihy and her father. Having grown up in a strict Catholic family myself, I could relate to the moral issues and the conflict they struggled with. (Although I think it's BEYOND RIDICULOUS that Katie got in trouble at the homecoming dance for dancing the Twist, labeled "lewd and inappropriate" by her father & Sister Elizabeth.) Oh, how the times have changed!! I have watched this movie probably a dozen times, and probably will watch it a dozen more...I never get tired of it. If you are interested in the music, sociology and/or politics of the 1960s, you need to watch this film. I'm glad I did! | |
| Review of "The '60s" | |
| I enjoyed this DVD, although the acting was a bit cheezy and we didn't see anyone too famous (well, except Dylan, Mario Savio and the rest...) however it was quite enjoyable. For anyone born a bit too late (like myself) then I recommend watching it. |
