| Warner Bros./Seven Arts | Release Date: October 18, 1968 |
Summary:
A thirty-something square falls in love with a hippie and decides to "drop out" himself.
Genre(s):
Comedy, Romance
Runtime:
92 min
A giddy, slapdash, entertainingly inconsequential comedy.
Maybe the three-star rating is generous, but this one gets bonus points for being such an artifact of its age -- and for being a decent warm-up for better Paul Mazursky-Larry Tucker scripts soon to follow: Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice (1969) and the underrated, not-on-DVD Alex in Wonderland (1970). [07 Jul 2006, p.3E]
When everyone begins romping around under the influence of marijuana cookies, Sellers becomes a long-haired dropout, and one can only cringe in embarrassment. [15 Dec 2004]
As long as it accepts its conventional identity, it's as amiable as the Jewish middle class and hippie scenes it satirizes with a TV gag writer's sensibility. Toward the end, however, the movie gets all mixed up and, under the mistaken impression that it's as wise as "The Graduate," it runs off into an unsatisfactory limbo.
