Though "Berkeley" may be based on Bobby Roth's own experiences, he filters it through a narrative framework that feels distant and impersonal...

Rated: 2.5/5

Only Henry Winkler as Ben's carpet-salesman pa has the joie de vivre the pic desperately needs.

A nice dose of secular Jewish wit and wisdom.

The whole thing does have an air of verisimilitude, but it's also just a little too blandly generic.

Felt like a cheesy student film that somehow roped in Henry Winkler and Tom Morello

<b>It's a movement. It's a party. It's history.</b> <img src="http://i50.tinypic.com/309lrva.jpg"> Awesome movie. It really showed the turbulence of the times quite well. There were a few pretty cool scenes, like when there was a concert in the park and people were dancing around so free. Damn those hippies. :) But, it was a nice story overall, and the self-discovery that happens to Ben Sweet was refreshing to see. The rest of the characters in the movie were interesting as well. Plus, I can't forget about the great music that was played. A lot of the songs in the movie were played by Country Joe & the Fish. Although I didn't care much about the ending, this made for a wonderful little film.
