Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

edwagreen For the first time ever, I got to hear from Peter Sellers sounded like with his real voice. He plays the part of a conventional 35 year old Jewish attorney engaged to his secretary. All this changes rapidly when he meets his hippie brother's girlfriend and falls for her, leaving his bride-to-be at the altar.The film was a definite triumph for Jo Van Fleet. In my wildest imagination, I never thought that she could do such a fantastic job as his mother in a comical role. She throws out Jewish expressions and must have remembered her vivid portrayal 13 years before as Susan Hayward's mother in "I'll Cry Tomorrow."The picture is basically a story of the wild 1960s with just about everything going.

Igor Visotskiy It's my favorite film and i more happy because screenplay was written by my favorite movie writer Paul Mazursky. It was his first screenplay for full-length movie after many works for serials. Also he was an Actor .... Hippie on Sidewalk (uncredited), executive producer, Soundtrack (lyrics: "I Love You, Alice B. Toklas!" (1968) (uncredited)) Was wondered that Mazursky was born in my country - Ukraine) First what i feel after this movie it's freedom. I saw it 20 or more times and it's still seems fresh. I advise you to see this movie first time alone. After this movie i told myself i'll never marry) My favourite character - Herbie - sincere dude, which open mind and soul of his stupid stereotype brother. Nancy are my love for rest of my life. Thanks Director for opening Leigh Taylor-Young' talent. I saw her later in Soylent Green (1973) movie of Harry Harrison. And for final must say that soundtrack for I Love You, Alice B. Toklas! one of the best psychedelic score i ever heard. Enjoy and be yourself! Good luck! Om

jellyfish-hendrix This film was a real disappointment. I found it evidently manufactured by an older mainstreaming Hollywood machine. Jokes were very dated. Jokes seemed to be for those unfamiliar with "The Hippie Problem" facing conservative America. Jewish humor was overdone. Music was forgettably bad. Big splashy posters were good. I recall that hippies lost their clothes at the drop of a hat. Hippies did not sleep with boots on their feet. Marxian humor couldn't save "overcrowding small room" scenes. Not a funny movie. A timepiece that was assembled by old Hollywood. Many hippie references in movies produced in American 1960's missed the mark. Sensationalizing costumes and shuffling wig wearing young people climbing in and out of psychedelically painted jalopies did not reflect the times.

moonspinner55 Screenwriters Paul Mazursky and Larry Tucker have a deft idea here--but it only takes an hour on the clock to use up the essence of their idea, leaving nothing but dead space on the screen for thirty more minutes. Milquetoast Jewish lawyer in Los Angeles, about to marry his domineering secretary (an idea which is approved by his demonstrative mother), is reunited with his estranged brother, a flower-child circa 1968. Through the brother's sometime-girlfriend, a comely lass who knows a great recipe for hash brownies, the lawyer realizes he's living an existence without love or freedom. It's wonderful watching bespectacled, buttoned-up Peter Sellers learn how to be liberated...yet, once the lawyer grows his hair out and dons love beads, the picture has nowhere in particular to take us. The satire is unsubtle in its prodding of targets, while writers Mazursky and Tucker ultimately bite off more than they can chew (while leaning precariously on pretentiousness). Still, there are some mild, breezy laughs early on, and the production is bright. ** from ****
