Dealing: or the Berkeley-to-Boston Forty-Brick Lost-Bag Blues

This movie is great fun! It follows the book closely until the very end. All the standard characters from the sixties college drug scene are here: the hot hippy chick, the befuddled guy, the supper-cool drug dealer, the inept friends, and the rotten corrupt NARC. The end is a bit slapstick, but very well done. If you remember the sixties, it feels so right. If you didn't live through it all, trust me: it feels like you are there.It's worth the cost of the DVD to see John Lithgow's first major role. He nails it as does Barbara Hershey. This movie won't change your life, but it will give you a very pleasant 90 minutes or so. I love this one.

I'm watching a Movies written based on Crichton Books have read all of them. Decent but don't go out of your way. Anyone want my used watched once copy?

nice story. good to see people who latter became stars, John Lithgow, not as good as it could have been with better tighter direction.

A bit dated of course, but very entertaining. I had read the novel many years ago, and the film did not disappoint.

I like films that are outside the box and this film is. It's dated but well written, directed and acted.

Really evokes the era, the late sixties. Love Barbara Hershey.

Good movie,looks good too.

Loved the book. Hated the movie

Watching this movie makes me wish I'd been the same age as the male protagonist during the early 1970's if for no other reason than getting to fall head over heels in love with Barbara Hershey as both fall into a heightened dope joy of sensuality. The world most probably is a sea of corruptive greed ruled by liars and thieves, but this little film pulls back the curtain of time just wide enough to re-glimpse what once was and can never be again. Whose side are you on?

A counter culture mess. Must have been fairly bad then. I certainly don't recall it from the time. While it is truly awful now. I failed to watch more than 15/20 minutes of it. Perhaps I'll try again after a few drinks.
