Alas, this movie does not hold up well to the test of time and is quite dated in so many ways. But if you were a teenager in 1974, like myself and four of my friends, you would think very differently about it's legacy. It was a powerful statement about a world that we were just beginning to understand. The memory of Kent State, and the spectra of Vietnam were with us back then all the time. Many young people flocked to the local theater to see this movie and spoke about it a great deal. In today's world of 2011, this movie appears to be a campy, self absorbed pile of film trash. I did find the review entertaining and would not recommend this movie to anybody, but in 1974 I would have paid for your ticket.
