For the most part, this is an enjoyable "flashback" for most folks, a look back at the wild and crazy late 1960s. I would have enjoyed it more without all the blasphemous exclamations out of Keifer Sutherland's mouth.For those who loved the '60s and its hippie-far Left political and cultural stances, this will be a nostalgic remembrance of those days. For those who think that period was the beginning of the end, morally and culturally for the U.S., this film will demonstrate that, too.Regardless of where one is politically, the film moves very fast, is very entertaining, and has almost no credibility. In parts, it's just embarrassing it is so ludicrous. Dennis Hopper is very believable as the ex-"hippie" and Carol Kane is a hoot as the "flower child." The rest of the cast, led by Sutherland, is nothing but irritating.Also, the soundtrack of '60s songs is excellent.

When i first noticed this movie i was unsure of what to think about it. But a few days i finally watched it and i quickly changed my mind.Kiefer Sutherland and Dennis Hopper are great on the screen together, this was such a fantastic movie. Throughout the entire movie they play complete opposites of each other. With Bucker (sutherland) the tough FBI Agent and Walker (hopper) the rebel hippy, they are brought together and change each others lives. In the end they end up working together, helping each other out. Bucker found out who he really was with the help of Walker and Bucker finally goes to his parents after running away when he was younger The film brought tears to my eyes, it really did and for me thats hard to do. Kiefer plays such a great role, i'm already a huge fan of his and he is very cute in this film. With the lovable humour and tearful moments it will get you hooked. And this really changes the people watching as well, with the words Walker spoke to the people, you can't help but agree.A 10 out of 10 film. Must see!!!

This is the milestone movie that made me admire Dennis Hopper's versatile, but also accurate, style of acting.I feel he portrays a certain level of comfortable spontaneity and peaceful individuality. It doesn't matter if the character Huey Walker was real or not or if the situation he was in actually happened, the story was entertaining and it had a great plot. This movie almost had me in tears the first time I watched it, and it made me feel like I just wanted to be myself. It made me feel like I was important, no matter what my name was or what I looked like, or where I came from. And even if I try to hide who I am, I know who I am. It made me feel like the only true way for me to be free, is to be comfortable with myself. That's what I got from the movie.

This is one of those all around great films that anyone can enjoy. When I was young I thought it was really funny. Now I get all the deeper messages and plot details, and like the movie all the more for it. This is also one of the two movies that can make me cry. The other is Grave of the Fireflies. The other aspects of the film, besides plot, are great too. The characters play off each other really well. The filming is good, and the comedy doesn't compromise the more serious nature of the film.
