If Quentin Tarantino wasn't already an established writer and director, this film would have never been made. The cast and director/writer are the only reason tickets sold for this movie, and critic's fearful of going against the grain are what gave this movie such great reviews. This is what happens when a cult classic writer becomes mainstream and puts a twist on conventional "storytelling"; a story is never told.

I wouldn't recommend this movie unless you're feeling extremely nostalgic and also have an unreasonable and obscure knowledge of life in the 1960s.
