Pick-up is a low budget 70s sexploitation film, and what is one to expect from a 70s sexploitation film but a mildly entertaining plot and a lot of sex. Well, though the latter was featured quite prominently, it is very hard to nit pick the story, as there is none to be seen. This is no more than a random trip in a bus with a guy and two girls, and the crazy happenings that go on.
Two hippie chicks, Carol (Jill Senter) and Maureen (Gini Eastwood), are meditating in a field, meet a crazy hippie guy, Chuck (Alan Long), who has this nifty bus. They go on what seems to be a spiritual adventure involving seeing things that aren't there, and running around naked through a field. The climax of the film is so mind blowingly stupid, you wouldn't believe someone actually penned this awful "story"(?).
The main problem with the movie is it makes no sense, and has no story. At least if it had a nonsensical story that would be something, but this movie just doesn't try to tell us anything. It's just about some young people and their sexy naked adventures. At times, this movie can be extremely slow too, and it gets boring. It seems the only reason anyone would enjoy this film, is for it's large quantities of nudity and sexuality, but even that can't keep people interested through the many lulls.
This is a fun flick if you like bad '70s cinema, but otherwise avoid this strange and silly movie.
My rating: * out of ****. 75 mins. R for nudity/sexuality, and language.
