let me start by say that i be a huge beach boys fan and so i simply have to see dennis wilson in his only dramatic role . that and and this film cult status be enough to get me pretty excite about see it for myself . unfortunately and there little or no substance to this film and and it mostly a waste of time . i suppose it could be compare to easy rider and but it only a superficial comparison . both be road movie that reek of 60 excess and but for a number of reason and easy rider succeed where two lane blacktop fails . firstly and this movie be roughly 90 minute long . however and there only about 15 minute of dialog at most . that mean that for most of the film absolutely nothing be happen . sure and people sit in diner and stand around and fix or drive car and but that about it . and unfortunately and the novice act skill of james taylor and dennis wilson aren not enough to make up for this lack of anything occur . i can not recall when i have see a movie more badly in need of a plot . on the positive side however and there be some lovely visuals in this movie . in fact and if it be simply an american travelogue i would probably enjoy it a lot more . but a it stand and this movie be pretty much a non event . the end be particularly weak . the first time i saw this movie be at an art house kind of theater and and i literally think the projector have break and so abrupt be the end . it wasn not until i saw the credit roll that i realize and oh and that it . to sum up and i want to like this movie . i try and but fail .
