Hopscotch is one of my favourite movies, along with Charley Varrick.

Hopscotch complete classic, just watched it free on youtube, probably about the 5th time I've seen it since discovering it about 15 years ago, certainly my desert island Matthau movie if I had to choose one... Jackson, Waterston, Beatty, and Lom also so fun, great story, so cool and clever! peace

What a silly take on this movie. I didn't know it was possible to be generation-centric but you've shown me it is. The picture HAPPENED to be about a boomer trashing the older generation but that's certainly not what it was about. That theme is universal and exists in Shakespeare. And you spoke NOTHING about the witty script, marvelous acting from a large cast, terrific direction, pacing, editing, and even the hilarious score that includes Rossini's Largo al Factotum. You might try to study cinema to understand that it's a fine art in the form of entertainment before you go about reviewing it.
