Rotten
Beresford directs without purpose or polish, and his mostly fine cast, which includes Kyle MacLachlan and Rosanna Arquette in bit parts, is wasted.

Pop songs, beautiful bucolic scenery and the joy of watching Jane Fonda fizz in a fun role that looks like a no-brainer are elements that a skilled director like Australia's polished Bruce Beresford blends with perfection.
Rex Reed, New York Observer
Rotten
There's a great movie to be made about the survivors of Woodstock Nation and their children. But in order to make that movie, you first have to respect the ideals of that generation enough to at least give them their due.
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
Rotten
There is no casting decision or character nuance or plot turn too obvious to indulge.
Amy Biancolli, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
What's so funny about "Peace, Love & Misunderstanding"? Not enough.
