Movie Reviews

Chicago Reader - 8/10 by Dave KehrAn engaging, episodic, wonderfully fair-minded satire about runaway children and anxious adults.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyCzech director Milos Forman applies subtle European sensibility to his American directing debut, a bittersweet satire of family mores and manners in times of change.
New York Times - 6/10 by Vincent CanbyMr. Forman's specialty is tender farce played out in what are, essentially, very bleak circumstances.
Cleveland Press - 6/10 by Tony MastroianniForeman's particular ability is to make the ordinary look interesting. In Taking Off he succeeds.
User Review - 10/10 by Jakub PI think this is Forman´s best American-era movie, together with One Flew and Larry Flint
User Review - 10/10 by François Ccrazy film, one, if not the best I've ever seen.
User Review - 10/10 by David Bcrazy film, one, if not the best I've ever seen.
User Review - 10/10 by Sean SFunniest movie I've seen in a long long time
User Review - 10/10 by Jake CUproariously funny send up of post-60s hippies (and their parents) that really takes the piss out of both the counterculture and the counter-counterculture. The scene where the forlorn adults try pot for the first time in order to relate to their wayward kids is high(brow), slow-burning farce at its best. Even as the airy ideals of youth get the rug ruthlessly pulled out from underneath them-just by letting them be themselves, performing songs and acting goofy-it's really the parents who turn out to be the punchline (literally, in the case of a scene with Buck Henry getting drunk and violent), their repression exposed, their desire humiliated.
User Review - 8/10 by Tom SA little hidden gem from the early 70s, this was Milos Forman's first American film. Lynn Carlin and Buck Henry are two uptight parents who learn to loosen up after their daughter runs away. The comic timing is great in this droll adventure through the counterculture, punctuated by singers (including Carly Simon and a young Kathy Bates) who lend a sense of freshness and honesty to the experience. Highlights include the girl sweetly singing the 'fuck' song while playing the lute, and the hilarious scene in which Vincent Schiavelli teaches the fashionable society crowd how to smoke a joint. Overall, with its humor, music, and spirit, the film impeccably captures the time period. It should be seen on a triple bill with Hair and Swedish Fly Girls.
