Review of Head

Head (1968)

I finally got Head the other day.

The only benefit of watching this was being able to make that joke. It's a movie. Sort of. Featuring The Monkees. (1960s musical group that had a TV show).

Now, one would expect that it would have been a fun romp with the boys in the band going on all sorts of crazy adventures, and featuring their popular songs. Nope.

This was the worst POS I have ever seen, and I don't say that lightly. Not a single popular song, long stretches where the stars are not even in it, non sequitur segues from one boring scene to another. I got exactly one laugh out of the whole thing, and only found Davy's little dance solo the most mildly interestingly shot bit of the whole thing, for all its cheesiness.

I do like some bad movies. I can see why this one has languished in obscurity for decades. Oh, and Jack Nicholson, Annette Funicello, Teri Garr, Frank Zappa, and Victor Mature are in it. For no reason whatsoever. Except that Nicholson wrote it
