"Reality is a deadly place. I hope this trip is a good one."
Jenny (Susan Strasberg), a runaway, arrives in San Fransisco looking for her brother. She's taken in by Stoney (Jack Nicholson) and his hippie band, who help her look. But her initially positive take on the hippie lifestyle soon takes on a more practical and realistic point of view as she falls for Stoney.
A nicely crafted overview of the Haight-Ashbury scene, is marred by some sledgehammer points that the director makes along the way. Features brief appearances from The Seeds and The Strawberry Alarm Clock and some laughable guitar holding from Nicholson, who obviously could not be bothered to even try and look like he could play the thing.
