jim s 08/05/2023 The only movie via John Nichols I ever enjoyed. Roger Ebert and other elite critics completely miss the point of this movie. It is not for the common herd, sans, an appreciation of wit and intellect. Pookie (Mineli) was superb in her recall of witticisms that, probably akin to the common theatre goer, zipped right by the dim witted boyfriend. She had the goods on the sixties zeitgeist, along with its beer, toga parties, sex and inane conversation that posed as Hip. She became so thoroughly frustrated in her attempts to civilize the collegiate society; she simply signed off. Her boyfriend, dullard as he was, thought he was doing Pookie a favor which demonstrates his total misunderstanding of Pookie. I could go on. I say to all. Read some Martin Amis, his dad, Douglas Adams, et al then revisit The Sterile Cuckoo. See more Martin B 03/03/2023 Lisa Minelli's best acting performance in my view. A turbulent time. Yet this movie highlights the insecurity and angst of young people out on their own for the first time in a more tranquil setting highlighting their turmoil. A brilliant move. The plot, traditional Northeast setting, the 1950's VW Beetle, a touchstone of the times for many of us. A must see. See more @MilloTPue 09/30/2020 Nice, tender, inconclusive, atypical young love story, whose main strength comes in the elegance in the way it is treated, and the great work of Minelli, who expresses fragility at the same time of a irreverent sense of humour.
