Jennifer Willoughby

I watched this with my parents who were young in the 60s. My mother always said she remembered this being a really dumb movie, but we thought we would give it a try because we heard the song on the radio today. My goodness! It was awful! First of all, the characters were entirely unlikable. George is a frumpy mess who has an awkward third wheel relationship with a narcissist and a John Lennon wannabe. The old man is disgusting and creepy. It was hard to understand any of the character’s choices in this movie because everyone was manic and 60s chic. I guess it was a sensation for its time (in a screwball 60s kind of way?), but I can’t believe that anyone has ever watched this movie and thought it was good. Don’t watch this! If you like the song, don’t let the movie ruin it for you.
