**_Ambitious 60’s teensploitation satire is amusing, but with dull storytelling_** A new band in SoCal rises to popularity led by the charismatic Max Frost (Christopher Jones). He uses his position to unite youths and enters politics with the intent of granting teens the right to vote during the turbulent Vietnam era. Shelley Winters plays Max’ wacky mother, Hal Holbrook a supportive senator and Millie Perkins his wife. "Wild in the Streets" (1968) is a cult flick that satirizes the serious issues of the psychedelic 60s. It doesn't choose sides between young and old or liberal and conservative, but is a mocking jibe at both. It inspired the short-lived DC comic Prez from 1973. There are some catchy 60’s tunes written by Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil for Max’s band, such as “Shape of Things to Come” and “Fourteen or Fight,” along with several amusing bits, like the wild acid sequence in the old people's camp. Plus, it’s interesting to see Richard Pryor at 27 as the drummer of the band. Unfortunately, the ambitious story isn’t compelling, which explains the movie’s obscurity. "Lord Love a Duck" (1966) and “Village of the Giants” (1965) are overall more entertaining for this zany fare. Reeducation camps and top-down commandments, such as ordering the dragging of aged people to concentration camps and rejecting their human rights are traits of Leftist governments, like Communism, Socialism and Naziism. But it’s okay ’cuz it's all for the greater good, man. (Rolling my eyes). The film runs 1 hour, 37 minutes, and was shot in the Los Angeles area with some sequences done in DC (probably just second unit work). GRADE: C

Wild in the StreetsThe problem with teenagers voting is that they loiter around the ballot box afterwards.However, the adolescents in this musical are more apt to through a dance party.Subversive since infancy, Max Frost (Christopher Jones) now fronts a successful rock group of astute teens (Richard Pryor, Kevin Coughlin, Diane Varsi) that Senator Fergus (Hal Holbrook) would like to partner with.But before he'll endorse the policymaker, Frost wants Fergus to lower the voting age to 14, or else Frost's fans will riot.Eventually, Frost uses LSD to win the US presidency and send everyone over 35 to internment camps.An outlandish cautionary tale about the social tensions affecting sixties youth, this cult classic may have some trippy ideas and seriously catching tunes, but its message of dissent is drowned out by all its bell-bottomed kitsch.Regardless, what good is the vote at 14 if you can't go binge drink afterwards?Yellow Lightvidiotreviews.blogspot.ca

I saw this movie in the theater a week or so after my junior year in high school. It was my first date where I was allowed to drive. The film received a lot of fanfare, aimed entirely at my generation. I went with high expectations and was of course disappointed. I think it was supposed to be some kind of Hollywood version of a social protest film, set in a slightly tongue-in-cheek spirit. It came off as just goofy. I thought it was goofy at the time, when I was 17 and almost anything designed especially for me I perceived as at least a little bit cool and hip. But not Wild In The Streets. Nope.Some folks might think it has acquired some kind of cheeky flavor to it that makes it a good film, you know, like Plan 9 From Outer Space is supposedly a good movie too. But nope, Wild In the Street is simply a below par film, and for that matter, so is Plan 9.
