Movie Review: Taking Woodstock


No Comments// Posted in Reviews by Sean on 09.01.09.

I used to hate independent movies, but lately I’ve been seeing ones that I’ve loved such as Away We Go and (500) Days of Summer. Well this movie ruined that streak, because it was awful.

Okay it wasn’t awful, but it wasn’t a good movie. I wouldn’t pay to see it, not even a $1 at the Redbox when it comes out on DVD. And what makes me so mad is that it should have been good. So many big actors, it was directly by Ang Lee, the music was by freakin’ Danny Elfman.

Some parts had probably the worst acting I’ve ever seen, some parts made no sense towards the main plot of the movie and really had no right to be there, and the rest was just sooo slow. The first probably 45 minutes of the movie is just leading up to the festival actually happening. And it is a loooong 45 minutes, with nothing really happening. The other half of the movie was kind of okay during most of it, but still with some parts really making no sense and I wish weren’t there. Nothing even really happened in the movie. I did get some joy though out of knowing this was a true story and that Woodstock happened this way, but even then I don’t know what was real and what was made up for the movie.

Sooo… Don’t see this movie, k?



And yeah and theres a whole lot of nudity in this movie, but not like sexy nudity. More like weird/gross nudity.
