　　Deserves recognition as an interesting misunderstanding of the hallucination generation, 20 January 2007
　　Author: TimothyFarrell from Worcester, MA
　　"Wild in the Streets" comes from the same school of film making that spawned other attempts to connect to the counterculture such as "Skidoo" and "Candy". The difference between this and the aforementioned films is that "Wild in the Streets" is reasonably clever and well-made. It isn't sympathetic to the counterculture and will likely offend those with fond memories of the time. Surprisingly, it was a big hit when released and appealed to the youth whom it ridiculed so much. Unlike "The Trip" and "Psych-Out" (two other AIP films), its not an accurate representation of the movement at all. However it does work as social satire.
　　The direction by Barry Shear is good and makes innovative use of split screen photography. Plus, he keeps everything moving at a quick pace. In its funny moments, the film works well. In its attempts at drama, its helplessly dated and just as funny as the humorous moments. Christopher Jones underplays his role and Shelly Winters overacts. Hal Holbrook offers the best performance and Diane Varsi achieves the right note of "grooviness". The script by Robert Thom has its moments, especially the ending (easily the most ingenious part of the film). "Wild in the Streets" isn't perfect, but deserves recognition as an interesting misunderstanding of the hallucination generation. Those into this kind of kitsch will enjoy it the most. I'd rather watch "The Trip" or "Psych-Out" however. (6/10)

　　如今已经年过花甲严守成（王永光 饰）好不容易将三个儿子都拉扯长大，人老心不老的他不觉又开始琢磨开自己的爱情大事。原来他中年丧偶，之前一直围着孩子转，此时他惦念着从小一起长大的林婶子（李小嘉 饰），但两家儿女和街坊的议论让他裹足不前。林婶儿的女儿兰兰（柳岩 饰）则提出让老严颇感为难的结婚条件。与此同时，老严家的孩子们也不让人省心。大儿子大儿子子华（陈英俊 饰）炒股成魔，无法自拔，次子子富（宋谷 饰）光顾着给别人接生，自家迟迟膝下无子；小儿子子贵（彭宇 饰）北漂打拼，偏偏又打肿脸充胖子。
　　老严渴望已久的晚春，最终能否到来？

　　昏暗冰冷的审讯室内，满身伤痕的私家侦探内德·克鲁兹（安东尼奥·班德拉斯 Antonio Banderas 饰）正在接受波利（威廉·菲德内尔 William Fichtner 饰）等三名洛杉矶警察的残酷质询。他被指控撞人致死，在拳脚的胁迫下，内德缓缓道出了这几天的经历。他最先讲述了当红偶像明星同性恋丑闻引发的杀人事件，这是整个故事的开端。随后，在那个潮湿而神秘的夜晚，内德遇见身形巨大、长相凶恶的来自俄罗斯的前拳击手安东·普罗托夫（罗伯特·梅耶 Robert Maillet 饰）。安东雇佣内德寻找一名失踪的脱衣舞女，而这一切似乎又与安东背后的俄罗斯黑帮有着千丝万缕的关系。
　　不久，安东死于非命，内德则继续寻找舞女的下落。在这一过程中，接受过他询问的人不断死亡。内德走上了一条光怪陆离的神秘之路……

　　贝奇，安吉和辛迪是在同一间公司里工作的同事，私底下三个姑娘亦是感情十分要好的好友。一次偶然中，三人在公司里捡到了一大袋钱，鬼迷心窍的她们将钱拿走藏在了贝奇的家中。虽然脑袋里有一万个想要用这笔钱来买的东西，但三人并不敢在毫不知情的情况下轻易的动用这笔钱。
　　原来，这笔巨款的主人是公司的总经理康大维，他贪污受贿假公济私的举动不慎曝光，知情者于是向其勒索了一笔巨款，哪知道却被贝奇等人半路拿走。勒索者眼看着没有拿到钱，于是将康大维的所作所为举报给了警方，康大维随即接受了调查。得知这一事实，三个姑娘的心简直提到了嗓子眼，那一带钱也仿佛不是钱了，而是一颗随时都会爆炸的定时炸弹。

　　影片围绕上世纪六十年代，一起女演员的谋杀案展开，影片华丽的歌舞和奢华的服饰，很容易将人带回到那个印度歌舞片的鼎盛时期，反映了那个年代演员为出名急功近利，不择手段的黑暗一面，具有极强的讽刺意义，是不得多的精彩影片。但仔细看过之后，又有种似曾相识的感觉，这部电影无论在人物造 型还是画面构图上都与2013年的好莱坞大作《了不起的盖茨比》有着惊人的相似，甚至连海报的设计都如出一辙，堪称是一部宝莱坞版的《了不起的盖茨比》
