What's the deal with his hair?(spoiler)


So he ends up going 'on tour' but instead of letting his hair grow into dreadlocks(like most normal tour kids) he decides to 'let it grow' into a finely tuned, yet dishevelled mullet. I find this aspect of the film so totally unbelievable that it must have some signifigance that i can't quite grasp.

are you joking? who cares how he carries his hair, half the kids that go to musical festivals are rich kids from prep schools from new england just like the character. theres no set rules for hair for the jam band scene bro...

That's the one thing that really bothers me about this movie. But, I think they might have done this because the hair extensions would look too unrealistic if they were in the front. Also, the director probably wants to keep his face visible.

The other thing that bothers me about this movie is that the lots and concerts look too unrealistic - it doesn't look like they're filming at shows at all. Rather, it looks like they just gathered up some extras and filmed in a field. And there's no mention about the shows they're going to. All that is said is, "I hear the concerts are in town until Thursday." It would be a little bit better if they said something like, "I hear Widespread is here until Thursday"
