Leave your thoughts about Saint Misbehavin': The Wavy Gravy Movie.
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderA much better movie than its off-putting title would suggest, Saint Misbehavin': The Wavy Gravy Movie will introduce many to a singularly altruistic individual. |
| Los Angeles TimesGary GoldsteinEsrick has crafted an affectionate portrait of a man whose eclectic, ebullient life has been devoted to peace, love and understanding - an eternal hippie who has "walked the walk" since he burst onto the Greenwich Village "Beat" scene in the late 1950s. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter HartlaubEsrick spent 10 years on the film, and the result is a comprehensive portrait. |
| BrianOrndorf.comBrian OrndorfDoesn't probe too deeply into the man, but the message of altruism is loud and clear, befitting a rascal who's spent his colorful days trying to make the world a better place. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckNot a particularly deep portrait of its iconoclastic subject, this loving documentary should be of interest to aging baby boomers with long memories. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenMake of it what you will: like its subject, Saint Misbehavin' is an unabashed love letter to the world that defies the cynicism of our age. |
| Boxoffice MagazineRay GreeneIt's impossible to watch this movie without feeling that you're in the presence of a good and decent man. |
| Hollywood & FineMarshall FineIts subject is so personable, with both an infectious personality and a razor-sharp mind, that it's hard not to get caught up in his story. |
| PopMattersCynthia FuchsSaint Misbehavin': The Wavy Gravy Movie is a celebration and something of a scrapbook too, a collection of memories without much in the way of questions. |
| Slant MagazineJoseph Jon LanthierPerfunctory, bowdlerized, and intermittently condescending, Saint Misbehavin' has all the biographical trenchancy of a fundraiser infomercial. |
