Movie by Spike Lee about New Yorkers (specifically a group of Italian-Americans in the Bronx) during the hellish summer of 1977. Story lines involve infidelity, promiscuity (hetero and homo), the Son of Sam serial killer, and the growth of the punk music underground in America. It's 2.5 hours of nasty sex, deranged violence, and denser profanity than South Park that's poorly edited and just drags on and on. There are too many separate story lines, too little development of any of the characters, and the Son of Sam is disappointingly incidental to the whole film. The only things it has going for it are the funky 70's soundtrack and a montage set to The Who's awesome anthem Baba O'Reily. Spike Lee is in general a great director, but the is one to miss.
