i think this movie can be call the movie of misdirected rage . the character of joe and bob be relic of the wwii generation who do not quite understand their kid oppose the war and take drug and listen to rock and roll . but i think their real rage be at the fact that america be begin her long decline from the height the war leave her at . joe himself be a low rent archie bunker and ranting at all the thing that have make him angry and live his life of quiet desperation and until he team up with compton and a guy who want to avenge himself on the hippy who ruin his daughter . honestly and most of the movie look silly and the character be bad than one dimensional and theyre laughable . peter boyle be capable of good stuff .
