Negative Positive
Title: A slightly dated cult classic
Review: "Harold and Maude" is one of those movies that's hard to categorize. It's a black comedy, an offbeat romance, and a little morality play all in one. There are some really hilarious scenes - my favorite is the part where H&M; outwit Harold's uncle, a crazed militarist - and also some touching scenes between the two protagonists.I can't quite give this movie five stars, however, for several reasons. First, the production quality is mediocre at best. Second, while Maude's antics are amusing at a distance, she's not really all that loveable. A lot of her "advice" seems too much like warmed-over late 60s "do what feels good" drivel; apparently it's OK to steal cars if you're 79 years old. The Cat Stevens songs are often intrusive and annoying . And finally, the scene with H&M; in bed, presumably after having sex, is just ... creepy.
Is the review positive or negative?
