The most disappointing thing about this movie is that it has no literary value. There is no story to speak of, Neal Cassady's life is pathetically boring, and the dialog is without any wit at all.
We follow Neal Cassady -- who is supposed to be 20 but looks 30 -- swap girlfriends and hangs out with some losers, including some totally unrecognizable Beat poets.
The actors are doing their best but the script they are grappling with is empty. It's pretty girls and pretty boys, and pretty boring.
No wit, and, worst of all, no beat!
Neal Cassady : a would-be James Dean without a cause and indeed without a rebellion!
