This virtually plotless film is about an advertising executive, going through a divorce, who decides to experiment with LSD.
Most of the film, and obviously the whole reason behind making it, are the psychedelic "trip" sequences. That is the main problem with this film. While the hallucinations initially look impressive and quite enjoyably surreal, they lose their impact quickly and soon become quite dull.
However, the film can be quite enjoyable as a snapshot of late sixties Californian psychedelia (all the weird, colourful paintings on walls, and almost every second sentence ending in "man").
Peter Fonda is quiet bland as the executive, but Dennis Hopper is worth watching in his role as a drug dealer.
It is worth watching if you're interested in late-sixties psychedelia, LSD, Peter Fonda or drug movies, others may want to pass.
score /10
