Return of the Secaucus 7 (1980)

Interesting but not wonderful
Return of the Secaucus 7 is an OK film probably best enjoyed by those who either remember the 1960's fondly or have a big interest in that time period and its aftermath since is likely to leave others a bit underwhelmed. I had difficulty caring greatly about the characters and their lives and the acting is a bit uneven. The movie was obviously shot on a shoestring budget and nothing in the storyline is really compelling enough to make up for the lack of a big studio production. I did enjoy unexpectedly seeing a young Gordon Clapp of NYPD Blue fame show up in this film.

Disappointing
This is the first effort by John Sayles, who has gone on to produce a series of excellent films. Unfortunately, this is not one of them.

Plot Synopsis: A group of aging hippies get together for a weekend to relive their relatively meaningless youth.

The only people likely to enjoy this film are those who identify with the Movement of the late sixties.
