Madam D Mar 10 Apparently shows the culture clash of youth culture & traditional middle America. Didn't expect much since it is a made-for-TV flick. But there are good actors, just not enough depth of plot. See more 04/18/2013 Interestingly, I'm the first to review this film. I have a feeling that it was so bad that very few copies were every actually made. And Sally Field was lucky that most people didn't see this disaster or she surely wouldn't have had much of an acting career. At first, you think it's going to be fun to see a young Sally Field portray a runaway in the 60s. Very very quickly you realize that this will not be enjoyable. The first 20 minutes or so of the film has no actual dialogue. Instead, we hear one side of a phone conversation that doesn't actually match what's going on on screen. Then it transitions to a really horrible, really long song that was written for the film. I think the moral of this made-for-tv movie is don't do drugs, which is ironic because you would have to be on drugs in the first place to make much sense of it. It has a totally creepy vibe and the characters are so stereotypical that it is laughable. Never ever watch this movie. See more 05/11/2010 In the tradition of films like Go Ask Alice this is another very odd social issue movie. David Carradine as her hippie/anarchist boyfriend is fantastic. See more 07/07/2009 Sally Field screams a lot in this. Despite that, I found it passably entertaining. (There are worse things to spend your dollar on next time you're at your local dollar store.) See more 06/22/2009 Throughout the entire film I kept thinking how seventies the clothes and interior decorating looked. It's not a negative thing but for some reason it was a little annoying to me; like the brady bunch or something. The acting wasn't that great but I was interested in the story and the people's, at the time of making the the film, viewpoint of the hippie craze. Very educational but not really a entertaining enjoyable film. See more 05/07/2009 What makes this movie work is it's believable, and Sally Field is very convincing. When it was made it really hit the mark. Wonderful performances, poignant, perceptive direction and very well written. See more Read all reviews
