Russ and Roger go beyond in this under-whelming tale of how LA is tough on people, I guess. It\'s really a tale of people having banter that doesn\'t work for the viewer and then boning. Nothing happens in the film until 90% of the way through. We say less banter, more boobies.

We\'ll just go ahead and say that this was a massive disappointment. We were hoping for some really far out zany business with a nice backdrop of solid chests. Unfortunately, its mostly just music video, party, banter, music video, party, banter, tame boning, music video, banter, party, wedding, credits. This formula equals a sum of boring for 3/4 of the film. The pacing and writing seem to try to shock the viewer but I can\'t even imagining in 1970 that this film was shocking. Its as if you are told that people can be gay and then the person telling you this looks at you as says "Aren\'t you shocked? You must be shocked? That\'s SOOOO shocking" while you look at this person and wonder if they\'ve ever been outside. How naive did Russ and Roger think people were in 1970? People have sex and do drugs?!?! Whoa...

Either way, it\'s not good and not worth a repeat viewing if you have already seen it and ready to try again. However, this movie is important in the grand scheme of being a bad movie fan and we feel it is a must view.....ONCE.
