Title: Campy, like a mediocre SNL skit
Review: The only thing in this film that has any merit is the exquisite cinematography, and musical score. So, if you'd like to get an eyeful of Big Sur go ahead and watch this movie. However, if you are looking for acting talent, good script, and meaningful story skip it! While some of the dialogue isn't so bad (it was a collaborative effort including the likes of Dalton Trumbo) coming out of Miss Taylor's mouth it is pure drivel. The film seems like a too long SNL skit. It's funny to think that Taylor and Burton were husband and wife at the time since there doesn't seem to be much chemistry between their characters. I so much agree with a previous reviewer who stated that in their next life they would like to come back as Miss Taylor's character and live in a beach house on Big Sur (talk about rich hippies)!
