Relatively not viewed many films from the 1970's, but being aware of the several skin films from that time period. Had no expectations about this film but having an idea of what to expect given its basic plot description. It is quite about as expected with its silly and not exactly funny humor, it's few explicit scenes and an overall sense of freedom.
The lead characters aren't too bad, likeable enough, acted as expected but as we kept watching, they seemed quite idiotic. They didn't realize the first group of women (the hitchhikers) were blatantly robbing them. The women they were able to get with were quite easy. Especially the second scene involving the two hippie characters. They just happened to be there. Then the finales with the married housewife (same woman near the beginning asking for directions) and the no name lake girl in the bikini. They seemingly thru themselves to the leads with such ease. We're every girl that desperate? Seemed unrealistic.
Also there is a funny mysterious biker character whom seemed to be stalking the leads throughout but there is a payoff in the end.
In the end the film is enjoyable enough, not as boring as thought but nothing special. It has the feel of a hardcore film with its explicit scenes cut down a bit. It is also short in runtime so it's easy to pass time.

I'm very surprised how many sex scenes there are here! I mean really. And they are intense and lots of boob and nipple sucking with close ups. The sex scenes look real too. Are they? I've never seen so much porn in a movie on prime video. Little shocked really. This is more like an after midnight skinamax flick. Only giving it a 3 because a couple of the girls really were hot though haha.

Being stuck home during this pandemic time, I stumbled on this soft core porn film from writer/director Chuck Vincent on Prime Video. It's about a couple of graduated teen boys going on the road having sex with various girls and women along the way. The way the sex is depicted may have contributed to an X rating in some areas. I'll just say this was quite interesting and pretty sexy in some scenes and also occasionally funny. Nothing more, nothing less.

Firstly, that is not Davy Jones from the Monkees driving the Meat Wagon. Secondly, it's damn good to see great beer like Black Label advertised throughout a film. Thirdly, the hottest dame in this film, the buck-toothed blonde in the groovy bikini on the lake's beach, is almost Rosanna Arquette, whom we all feel like we met through a Toto song. In fact, she and the svelte, brunette hitchhiking girl from the early frames, are the only two ladies in this blue movie that do not pass for MILFs (pretty sure there was even a GILF in one of the scenes as well). Flute music abounds and works surprisingly well with the artistically and tastefully shot, softcore sex scenes. Loads of banana boobies and merkin-like Venus deltas. Lots of big hair and bellbottoms. Scintillating tan lines and an inconsequential motorcycle. Good times, man, good times. A fine, early exemplar of NC-17ish MILF subgenre, fetishistic filmmaking. Nowadays, it's all about humiliation and degradation. Back in the 70s it had soul and style baby!

This is a rather schizoid movie as is evidenced by its two alternate titles "Blue Summer" on one hand, or "Love Truck", on the other. At times this seems like a typically stupid and painfully unfunny early 70's softcore sex romp with a lot of idiotic and unrealistic situations and some pretty unappealing actresses. The movie follows a pretty typical formula--two guys who have just graduated high school go off on a road trip in a customized van looking some female action, and fall into all kinds of increasingly absurd, but not particularly funny situations--and, of course, they have a lot of sex on the way.
There are places, however, where this movie really transcends its formulaic softcore origins. Reality intrudes in a couple places like the one another reviewer mentioned where a sexual tryst one protagonist is having with an older woman is interrupted by her son who's about the same age he is (and it's treated rather realistically and a little sadly, not in the comical way of something like "American Pie"). My favorite scene though, and really the one that makes the whole movie at all worthwhile, comes in the first half hour: the pair pick up a couple of female hitchhikers (the ONLY attractive women in this movie) and they having a long and surprisingly beautifully filmed double sex scene at a campsite while groovy early 70's music plays on the soundtrack. As unrealistic as the rest of the movie may be, this one scene really captures what it was like (or, at least, what I imagine it was like--this was ten or fifteen years before my time) to be alive and young in the early 70's. This scene alone might be worth seeing the rest of the movie.

Teenagers pack a van full of beer and go on the road in search of sexual adventures.
There is no way to say anything of substance about this film because it was a film completely lacking in substance. Two young men go around and try to have sex with a variety of women, and they often succeed. There was no real plot, no real characters... just an excuse to film women naked.
No one of any consequence seems to have been involved with this project -- no actor, no director, no producer... I am not surprised in the least that it ended up being distributed by Something Weird Video, as this is more or less their cup of tea (though not really as "weird" as many of their titles).
