an important movie in the new hollywood movement and bob and carol . be an engage comedy that still might seem dare today . the masterful opening scene ( it be hard to believe that this be mazursky first movie ) replete with nude body set the mood well and tell u that what be see be something different and something new . the film meander and be full of great moment and in a way that often seem alien to contemporary movie . these be all multi faceted character the humor be mine from their situation and their personality and rather than be punchline driver . the performance to watch out for be those particularly from gould and cannon . both be energetic and fresh culp be fine too and but weaken by play opposite natalie wood . she isn not an embarrassment by any mean and but the difference in act from her studio experience and to the more naturalistic style of the late 60s/70s be apparent . she never quite convincingly there and not inhibit her character a cannon ( she and gould deservedly be both nominate ) do . the final sequence be uplifting and memorable and leave the audience on a high .
