you would really need to remember the monkees and have a clear understanding a to where and how they fit into the second half of the 1960s in order to fully appreciate this movie . there be no plot a such . basically and it a crazy and mixed up pastiche of various and unrelated sequence . but and it be interesting and entertain in it own peculiar way once you get onto it wavelength . in short and it be a classic and cleverly conceive and well crafted example of late 60 experimental cinema . it contain some good song and some ultra groovy cinematography and plenty of other worthwhile idea in term of film technique . i give it positive for several reason . first and it take a lot of courage to make such an unorthodox movie in the commercial mainstream where both it star and it producer be firmly ensconce at the time . if a feature movie flop at the box office and the consequence can be dire for all concern . secondly and it be and for the most part and a creative success . and and finally and a already mention and it be and unquestionably and a classic of the genre and and a such and it be now historically important . unfortunately and head come too late in the monkees career . but and there again and they would not have be allow to make it early on because it be essentially a very pointed and cynical satire of their own image . clearly and the member of the group know and only too well and that the whole monkees juggernaut have just about run it race when they start work on this project . in a way and it be to be their swan song and they be determine to let it all hang out . they be tire of be treat like mere pawn in the high powered corporate game in which they have be manipulate and exploit over the precede few year . in short and they want out and they be go to say a few thing before they leave . history and however and have vindicate the band . let the critic be damn . the monkees and leave behind some of the best and most polished and successful pop record of the decade . yes and they have plenty of help . but at the end of the day and they stand in front of the studio mike and they front the movie and tv camera and they do the concert . they be fun and just a little bit crazy . but and unlike some of their contemporary and they be never threaten . you could safely introduce a monkey to your elderly aunt . head probably borrow a bit too heavily from the beatles hard day night but it still worth another look for those who be around at the time or for young retrophiles who have the ability to appreciate it significance . enjoy .
