January 6, 2011Although this musical was about 10 years late in being adapted to film, it brings you back the 60s to any audience. Fantastic musical, I highly recommend it.

February 9, 2010while sometimes a little scattered, it's really quite poignant and touching at times. The music is (mostly) good.

July 26, 2009Funny and totally retro movie. I really enjoyed it not seeing it within a year. If you like musicals and unique ones at that you'll really love this movie. I certainly did!

March 29, 2008I'm not sure whether this movie adaptation of the 60's musical could have been made one year later. By coming out in 1979, it seems . . . almost . . . appropriate as an end of the 70s film (although it might have faired better as an end of the 60s film). Certainly, Vietnam was... read more

July 1, 2007A Vietnam draftee runs into a group of hippies before going off to war, and has a great party with them.
There's some great songs within, inluding the title track "Hair", "The Age of Aquarius", "Good Morning Starshine", etc... all the songs were great!

Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen"
Some pretty fun songs, and some fun characters, but overall I didn't care for it too much. I was a little bored at times. I'm not sure why Sheila hung out with them so much. Their rebellious w... read more -

January 18, 2010A movie for its time. With a quirky cast that performs and entertains well together it is hard not to laugh while watching this film. The musical numbers and dance routines define what younger generations see as they look back on the 70's and it is suitable that this movie comes ... read more

Milos Forman's screen version of the landmark musical production is uneven, though there's no doubt it would have been better received had been made earlier, during the Vietnam War. Full Review

Peter Canavese, Groucho Reviews
Hair benefited from the creative freedom of '70s cinema...at its best when it's most creatively subversive... [Blu-ray] Full Review

Matt Brunson, Creative Loafing
With the possible exception of A Hard Day's Night, it gets my vote as the all-time best rock film. Full Review

My best performance as a movie star...if you can find me!

Treat Williams in one of his better roles

Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
Hair is a zany blend of song, dance and parody with its giddy portrait of hippies. Full Review

Ken Hanke, Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Has more going for it than against it, not in the least the fact that Forman proves to have a natural affinity for filming musical numbers. Full Review

Toe-tappin' hippie-shakin' fun.

Matt Easterbrook, Matt's Movie Reviews
Treat Williams delivered a great performance as Berger, and showshe doesn't deserve to be stuck in TV movies like he is now.
