| User Reviewchris pThe most weirdest movie i have ver saw it was like a dream |
| User ReviewSenor CThats a absolutely Burner of Hippieploitation Culture of Free Expression, Psychedelic Pictures, Groovy Music & Freaky Characters it shows both the Beauty of Expansion of Consciousness and the Danger of Loss of Reality Jack Nicholson, Susan Strasberg and Dean Stockwell are great |
| User ReviewMark BThis is a late night favorite for me.The playful trippy San Fran scenes are very fun.The plot is silly,the acting eh eh,the ending a big bummer,but hey Nicholson,Stockwell, the friggin Seeds,and The Alarm Clock! |
| User ReviewDanielle RRoger Corman is one of my fave directors. No one else pulls of a no budget flick as well. This is so 60's groovy with lots of acid use, Jack Nicholsen, Bruce Dern....can't say enough. Another all time fave. |
| User ReviewAnthony BAn excellent low budget 60's flick featuring music by The Strawberry Alarm Clock, The Seeds, & others. An excellent look at San Francisco during that period- 1968 |
| User ReviewMegan HDefinitely not for most, but if you're looking for a time-capsule of the San Franciscan hippies of the late 60's, this isn't a bad place to start. |
| User ReviewAndrew SA time & space that most people today cannot even begin to imagine... |
| User Reviewalexandre gun film pas très original sur le plan esthétique, mais avec une histoire drôle, de la super musique (seeds et strawberry alarm clock), et cette ambiance sixties géniale. bref à voir si vous aimez le genre, pas un indispensable, mais vraiment cool. |
| User ReviewAlexandre Xok 4 c'est peut etre bcp et un peu surestime, mais cette petite serie b est un concentre de plaisir pour tout amateur de l'ambiance 60s. l'histoire n'est pas grandiose, mais voir jack nicholson en zicos dans un groupe psyche c'est plutot enorme, avec en plus une bo a tomber par terre (strawberry alarm clock, ou les seeds dans une scene incroyable). clairement pas un film qui a boulverse la fin du monde, mais on y trouve bcp de plaisir, et une image amusante et fraiche (quoiqu'evidemment un peu cliche) de la scene psych/hippie de frisco dans les 60s. |
