The Love-Ins Reviews

This film loses much of its impact in retrospect, because it's hard to take the situations and characters from the late 1960s seriously. The story revovles around a professor, Todd, who resigns his position when two of his students, MacArthur and Oliver, publishers of an underground newspaper, are expelled. Todd becomes something of a cult hero who promotes the use of LSD. Evicted from his apartment, Todd moves in with MacArthur and Oliver, taking advantage of his messianic role to seduce Oliver. MacArthur is disillusioned by what Todd is offering, and uses his newspaper to criticize him. The script offers some strong satire of the mass hippie movement, but is somewhat hampered by roles which have been miscast.
