“One night at home I had nothing to do, and I saw that Hair was on t.v. later. I was curious about it, I mean I had no idea what to expect. I had heard people make fun of it, and I had heard people praise it. So I had to watch, I had to have an opinion.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAt the beginning of the film, I enjoyed The Age of Aquarius number, and was intrigued. However, when the number Hair came on, I didnu0026#39;t know how to react. I wanted to laugh at it and change the channel, I didnu0026#39;t want my siblings to make fun of me. Yet the song, though a little stupid, was also catchy. I kept watching. After I was finished watching the entire film, I had no idea what had just happened. I didnu0026#39;t know if I liked it or not, I did know that I wanted to see it again.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a strangely addicting film. I watched it three more times in the days following, and my final verdict is, I love it! I canu0026#39;t help it. Itu0026#39;s just so fun! The fist time I watched it I was mocking it, but by the third time viewing it I was in anticipation over when the number Hair would come on so I could sing along. I especially loved the song, How Can People Be So Hard, itu0026#39;s a different pace from the majority of the film. What can I say, when it was over I was singing the songs in my head for weeks. I just have to buy it. I highly recommend this film to musical lovers (especially if you love musicals like The Whou0026#39;s Tommy). And although I know I would never be a hippie, this film makes me want to say u0026quot;Heck with work, Iu0026#39;m going to grow out my hair so fleas can live in it!u0026quot; Watch it, but beware, I think it just might do the same for you!!!”
