My reaction
Concept: However, the simple absense of supernatural powers is so welcome by this point that I almost don't notice the lack of any good ideas to take their place.

Acting: Homeier and Napier are both pretty good in their key scenes. Rapelye and Koenig are awful.
Music: Fucking hippies.
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, ). There's not really much to it, but in the (relatively few) places where it's moving forward, it's perfectly good. On the other hand: jam sessions. On the other other hand: pretty girls without much clothing.
