All things considered, I liked the movie.
I loved shots of scenery as Fonda and Hopper ride cross-country. I loved a lot of the dialog, especially when Jack Nicholson makes his appearance, and I love the theme and message the film conveys. However, there a multiple scenes that drag on way to long without anything substantial happening. I understand that the point of these scenes was to convey the lifestyle, but I couldn't help but be incredibly bored by some scenes, namely the commune. I never connected with a character more so than when Dennis Hopper has had enough of the commune, and say something along the lines of "Lets get the hell out of here, man" I knew exactly how he felt and was glad I wasn't actually there with him, and could leave the boredom and craziness much easier than he could.
