Thumbs Up For The Music; Thumbs Down For The Gags, 24 September 2007
5/10
Author: ccthemovieman-1 from Lockport, NY, United States

I had read where this is a wild-and-crazy movie that was a lot of fun to watch and nostalgic for the period of the late '60, with decent songs thrown in. I agree with some of that but disagree about the overall presentation.

I found the songs were the highlight: excellent stuff. These guys were not just "fluff." they could sing and sing well, and their instrumentation isn't bad, either. They are definitely underrated in the music department.

In the humor department, I would say the opposite. This film is a compilation of small comedy bits. There really is no story, which I knew before I saw it. I didn't mind that, but I was expecting some things that would really make me laugh. I wound laughing very little as most of it is just dumb humor....almost embarrassingly bad.

This 1968 movie which wasn't released for three years, which wasn't fair to the guys. Their TV program had been off the air, so their popularity was waning. I don't know why the delay as there is nothing controversial in here. There is no profanity, either. It's pretty clean stuff....just not that entertaining.
