Leave your thoughts about Alice's Restaurant.
| Blunt ReviewEmily BluntThis is one of those time capsule films - for that it is important |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzIt's worth checking out for the marvelous look back at how the counterculture dropouts related to each other and to the straight older generation in the late 1960s. |
| Juicy CerebellumAlex SandellNot nearly as good as everyone keeps telling you that it is. |
| Village VoiceNick PinkertonPenn's genius overtakes the dropout romance, like a final post-bacchanal hangover that suggests liberation as an El Dorado dream. |
| The New York Review of BooksEllen Willisin spite of the clowning of Arlo Guthrie [Alice's Restaurant] is one of the more depressing movies I've seen lately, so much more so than Easy Rider, because confusion and passivity are more demoralizing than violence. |
| User ReviewLance HGreat movie. It's not all jokes either. Based on the song by Arlo Guthrie, a must see for any and all my goodtime friends. |
| User ReviewBeth GA must for any lover of folk music, featuring performances by Arlo, Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, and many others not necessarily as well known but still darned good. |
| User ReviewG. TProbably the funniest movie of the 1960s! |
| User ReviewSam SI saw this movie this morning and I thought that this was one great Hippie Movie and Arlo Guthrie was great. |
| User ReviewSeán Carlo is amazing and the more i watch this movie the more i wish i had a v w microbus |
