LouHomey From my favorite movies..

WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Cristal The movie really just wants to entertain people.

ericanjensen I enjoyed this movie. It made me think about my own relationships that might need mending. Also made me happy to see Catherine keener's character let go of hard feelings, and just forgive.Everyone needs to love their mom!

Michael Guth Towards the end, Jane Fonda reads excerpts of poetry that tied the film together and left me inspired to watch the ending over and over again.Song of Myself, Walt Whitman (from Leaves of Grass, first published in the 1855 edition)And I know that the hand of God is the promise of my own, And I know that the spirit of God is the brother of my own; And that all the men ever born are also my brothers, and the women my sisters and lovers; And that a kelson of the creation is love; [5]It may be if I had known them I would have loved them, It may be you are from old people, or from offspring taken soon out of their mothers'laps, And here you are the mothers' laps. [6]It is not chaos or death—it is form, union, plan—it is eternal life—it is HAPPINESS. [50]

SnoopyStyle Diane (Catherine Keener) is a straight laced NYC lawyer. Her husband (Kyle MacLachlan) has asked for a divorce. She takes her daughter Zoe (Elizabeth Olsen) and son Jake (Nat Wolff) to stay with her hippie mother Grace (Jane Fonda) in Woodstock. Diane has been estranged from her irresponsible mother ever since Grace sold weed to her wedding guests resulting in her getting Grace arrested. Grace introduces Diane to Jude (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) who turns out to have a history with Grace. Zoe is a vegetarian who falls for butcher Cole (Chace Crawford). Jake is an introvert who dreams of being the next Werner Herzog. He falls for local girl Tara (Marissa O'Donnell).I like the two kids especially Olsen, and I like her relationship with Crawford. The odd thing about Diane's relationship with her mother Grace is that I agree with Diane. In the end, Grace never changes in her irresponsible ways and Diane is berated into accepting Grace by Jude. The whole hippie culture portrayed here is one big stereotype after another. It's almost as old as Jane Fonda. None of that is appealing or funny. And that student film in the end is truly horrible. I wanted the kid to be actually good. I wanted the kid that is going to be the next Herzog.

Lee Eisenberg Long known for political activism, Jane Fonda finally gets to do it on screen in "Peace, Love, & Misunderstanding". The movie's point is that, while you might not see a lot of flower children, they still exist and they haven't abandoned their idealism. There's a good contrast between the mom's hippie lifestyle and the daughter's (Catherine Keener) straight-laced lifestyle. As can be expected, the movie also has some great music (hell, it's set in Woodstock, NY).Long story short, the '60s will never die. Maybe the movie is a little over-idealistic, but everything else makes up for that. It's just a fun movie, and definitely one that I recommend.
