Critic Reviews for Wild in the Streets
All Critics (17) | Top Critics (5) | Fresh (11) | Rotten (6)
Wild in the Streets is a kind of instant classic, a revved-up La Chinoise or Privilege for the drive-ins in summertime.
Despite its rough edges and airy trimmings, the film has a chilling nub of possibility to it.
An often chilling political science fiction drama, with comedy, the production considers the takeover of American government by the preponderant younger population.
For this audience, Wild in the Streets needs no serious political comment and no real understanding of how pop music and the mass media work together. It's a silly film, but it does communicate in the simplest, most direct terms.
Shelley Winters, as George's mother, gives the most tasteless performance of her career, while Barry Shear directs as if he'd seen Dr. Strangelove a few too many times.
Even acknowledging it as a sign of the times, it comes off as awfully obvious in its satiric implications, making easy points while limping its way toward a daft denouement.
