a their entire career be a pale impersonation of the beatles and it be no surprise that and shortly after the great fiasco of the beatles magical mystery tour and the monkees would follow up with their own insipid and creative morass of a movie and call head . both movie be not so much a true story with a plot ( though mmt attempt to define a plot ) a they be a hodge podge of skit and snippet and intersperse with music and song and out take . head have no plot and other than the pre fab four try to break free of the box they be in ( i. e. the type casting of be monkees and the surround commercialism ) and yet and always find themselves back in the box . most skits involve break in the fourth wall and crossing over into other and seemingly unrelated scene . fill with anti vietnam war message and attempt by the group to show their other talent and the film bounce around haphazardly also to be blame on the multiple director . the film and like magical mystery tour and be now excuse by some fan a wonderful symbolism and misunderstood artistic statement . phooey . like mmt and it be too many guy with access to too many drug all try to make something artsy and make crap . like mmt and head have some clever moment and offer some relatively unknown monkees song that be quite decent . it do develop a bit more charm than mmt and be a bit easy to sit through and but it be not ironic at all that and like everything else the monkees do and this be just a mimicry of something the beatles do first . even when it come to lay an egg .
