The 60's dropout is explored in this film, which starts out very interestingly, then just kind of moves along, not really too sure where to go (gee.. just like... dropouts! what an amazing film technique!).. From the beginning, with it's great music, dialogue, and fashions, we hope for a real swinging time, but it seagues into typical teen warning film, as several cases of drop outs are explored. Some are interesting (Ellen) and some are not. Still, interesting to look at and maybe of use of your time.
