This comedy has a cast that includes some actors I like, including Debbie Reynolds amd James Garner in the starring roles. But this film is from the 1960s school of screwball comedy that is mostly just silliness, where a screen filled with general mayhem is supposed to be funny, like a food fight or a massive pillow fight. And so the script is sadly lacking in both humor and substance.
In the 60s, much was made of the generation gap, so there are scenes of some very "square" kids engaging in "groovy" activities, like listening to sitar music and contemplating psychedelia. Another common theme was tension between the sexes, so superficial conflicts are often injected into storylines, and an annoying but common theme is women manipulating men.
This film has little to recommend it. Reynolds and Garner did other work that was so much better.
Watch for Penny Marshall in a very small role.
