A nifty helping of the hip, groovy, state-of-the-art New Age fads, trends and lifestyles that germinated in the late '60s and early '70s are poked heap big fun at in this Marin-located comedy from 1980 when they were really coming of age.

Health food, New Age philosophy, yoga, Tantric sex, ridiculously understanding shrinks and ditzy ministers, orgies, religious cults, hip sexual affairs are all given their moments in the sun - and the resulting liver and whey shake is a hoot...at least to me.

The nudity quotient, while nice could have been, well, nicer. But what a bevy of cool babes here, most of whom have some sort of nudes scene, albeit brief! The cast includes such faves as Tuesday Weld, Pam Bellwood, Sally Kellerman andlesser known but equally babacious talents as Patch Mackenzie and Ann Weldon.

Martin Mull and Bill Macy try to figure it all while Tommy Smothers and Christopher Lee, in a couple examples of brilliantly offbeat casing add to this quiche.

I really liked this offbeat little time capsule gem.
