Head: The Monkees

"A Hard Days Night on acid" best describes this outrageous movie within a movie starring recording superstars The Monkees. The first in a long line of films for collaborators Jack Nicholoson and the director Bob Rafelson - Five Easy Pieces, The Postman Always Rings Twice - Head's unconventional, dreamlike style showcases The Monkees' musical and comedic talents honed on their popular television series. A stream-of-consciousness script lands our fab four in a WWII foxhole dodging an excitable football player, then later they are caught in a giant vacuum cleaner after being sucked out of Victor Matures hair as flecks of dandruff, and on and on from one wild situation to another. Head is unpredictable, filled with great music, and undeniably hilarious!
