Dark, dreary take on the American cultural revolution of the 1960s. The Philip Roth novel is no doubt better than this movie, which flirts with but fails to answer the question of why upper-middle-class children brought the Vietnam War home (watch the excellent 2002 documentary THE WEATHER UNDERGROUND instead). On the upside, Dakota Fanning is terrific.
