Taking Woodstock (Ang Lee, 2009)

5/10
It was...ehhh..just kind of there. The story was good sometimes, less interesting at other turns. I don't know, it must be some kind of feat to base an entire movie around something as daunting and monumental as organizing freaking Woodstock and still have it come off as milquetoast and generally forgettable. Demitri Martin is wholly uninteresting as any kind of main character, and the soundtrack was like bland white noise - this, in a movie about Woodstock. I'm not sure exactly what Ang Lee was really going for here but I can't help but thinking he missed it.
