- Quotes
Nancy: Your attitude is very unhip.
Harold: My attitude is unhip? Don't give me that. Don't - listen, I'm probably the hippest guy around here. I got a house full of strangers. I got cats, I got dogs, I got pot, I got acid, I got LSD cubes. I've got this thing here. Don't tell me about hip. I am so hip it hurts. That's how hip I am.
Nancy: It's very unhip to say you're hip, Harold.
Harold: And it's very unhip of you to tell me that I am unhip.

Featured review
Harold Fine (Peter Sellers) is a Los Angeles lawyer. He's having second thoughts about marrying Joyce. His family butcher dies and he goes to pick up his hippie brother Herbie living in Venice Beach for the funeral. Herbie's free-spirit girlfriend Nancy invites herself and goes home with Harold afterwards. While he's out, she bakes him some groovy brownies. After tasting the brownies, Harold decides to drop out.
With Peter Sellers, I was hoping for something much more hilarious. He's a fish out of water and has the potential for great comedy. His transformation should have been a series of hilarity. He flips a switch with a montage and a lot of potential is lost. Sellers still has some fun with the premise but it could have been better. Alice B. Toklas refers to the progressive writer and her cookbook with a cannabis brownie recipe. Overall, this has some fun with a timely premise.
