Have a lot of respect for this film, I absolutely recognise it has an interesting concept that is still so unique/rare you can invoke the title and people know what you're talking about. The casting is perfect and the Cat Stevens score is lovely. I just didn't love it.
There's about half an hour of story - it's padded out with the Cat Stevens music and repetitive gags (Harold commits suicide, mom freaks out, mom sets up Harold with crazy gal). It's made with love and care by Hal Ashby on the rise. It just didn't do it for me and never really has. Maybe I was over familiar with it before having actually seen it.
Not really typical of Colin Higgins' later work, incidentally.
