    There is so much wrong with this movie. The fact that this movie was made in 1967 but feels like something out of the mid fifties. The dad who wears his pants up to his nipples and is about 60 and has a 8 year son. The hoodlums who dress in nice polo shirts and drink root beer. ...( read more)The daughter who considers kissing third base. The "funny" younger brother and the overacting of the wife. Watch for the scenes where the punks are chasing the family in their car. The family clings and claws at the dad driving is by far the funniest "not suppose to be funny'" thing in the movie. This is also a sad statement on what the major studios thought were cool and hip in the sixties. At least Easy Rider was coming.

    Four stars? Am I kidding? Nope. It deserves four. It is so horribly over acted [by the mother charcter - at least] that it's worth watching. It's a cult classic.

    The best bad movie ever made. The difinition of "camp".
