This movie plays as an interesting time capsule for the mid-'60s with the racism and sexual uprising themes, but there is too much going on and trying to be pushed by the writers/director in only 2 hours. In the end, many do not feel important to the plot and it feels like the film could have been much shorter. There is some great acting and entertaining scenes, but it all doesn't gel together well. It's one of those movies that I would like increments of 0.25. 3.25
