Some Kind of a Nut (1969)
90 minutes of my life I'll never get back
This movie was absolutely horrible. It wasn't funny, it didn't provide any sort of inner truth or good vs bad, it offered nothing. I kept watching the movie hoping that at some point there would be a meaning or some merit to the movie but it never delivered. It was 90 minutes of my life that I'll never get back. I'm rarely critical of movies, but this movie is one to avoid. After I finished watching the movie I couldn't believe that someone in the movie industry in 1969 thought this was good enough to release...let alone a worthwhile project to even film. The ball buster for me was the very end of the movie. He leaves the mental ward with his girlfriend, but ends up with his ex-wife because she all of a sudden admired him for growing his beard and standing up. Implausible plot from start to finish. Did the movie producers try for some sort of "zany" film relying on Dick Van Dyke? In any event it didn't work.
