Demetri Martin plays the young man who, in trying to help his parents save their dying motel, helps Woodstock live.
Martin is very good as a young man discovering who he is amidst a freedom he never felt, and Imelda Staunton is fantastic as his nasty, greedy, motel-owner mom. When she eats up four special brownies, she goes from evil to icky.
Also in the mix is the talented Liev Schreiber. However, I don't feel his character is really fleshed out enough, as if one of his scenes explaining more got cut for time.
"Taking Woodstock" shows us a time, 40 years ago, when a movement for music and peace made major headlines. While this is a story well told, it may be a story best told to those who already feel a connection to that movement.
