"The film carries a sense of time passing, as one generation ages and another grows up, that feels wonderfully poignant, thoughtful, and (when one reflects on it) even heartbreaking. Overall, the motion picture triumphs for its ability to create and sustain one of the most deeply felt, authentic, and honest onscreen portraits of the rift between Greatest Generation parents and late-'60s/early-'70s youth -- a difficult and remarkable accomplishment for a single narrative feature."

"...one of the '70s quirkiest comedies, and its bleak morbidity is uncommonly matched by its over-the-top hilarity."
