How the times have changed

Awfully dated but fascinating as a sociological artifact. Nicholson and Garfunkel (he of the questionable acting career) play basically high school students who compare notes. Yes the attitude of these two men towards women never advances beyond that of two teenage guys asking "did you feel her up?" Nicholson plays a particularly repugnant creep who still somehow makes it with the ladies. Maybe it's because he's so damn clean. Jack spends at least 20 minutes of this movie's length taking showers. I'm exaggerating . But only a little. The women don't fair much better . Bergen seems bi-polar and then disappears. Ann- Margret starts off as much more interesting character but later dissolves into a neurotic mess. Interesting as an overview of the way "some" men and women thought in those days. But other than seeing Ann- Margret looking oh so beautiful. This is really an obnoxious bore of a movie. Rita Moreno makes a very effective cameo at the end as a prostitute. The movie needed more of her.
