I liked "Just Like Joe"!, 10 July 2008
9/10
Author: elizmb from United States

Just Like Joe has stayed with me since viewing it a few days ago. A child of the 60s, it was a visit back in time that helped me better understand my own evolution through that period of history.

This is an excellent family movie for baby boomer parents to see with their teenage and young adult children (as I did ). No reason to cringe in any part.

It was both entertaining and a review of our history as Americans during a turbulent time.

The movie facilitated wonderful dialog about the parallels and differences about war, race and stage of life issues.

The original music was excellent and more sophisticated than I would have expected for a low budget film. The period music had me rocking and was perfectly placed.

Seeing it in an old fashioned movie theater was the best.... no interruptions as with viewing at home!!
