At another of those movie colleges where no one carries a book, let alone is seen in a class room, basketball star Jeremy Larner is carrying on an affair with the last of the college widows, Karen Black.
It's the first movie Jack Nicholson directed from start to finish, and while the performances are fine, it's a movie in which everyone is playing a Jack Nicholson character, utterly selfish and at least slightly disconnected from the rest of humanity. This makes all the conversations sound like series of interrupted monologues, and bizarre behavior is a sign of..... nothing at all.
This was the time I was going to college, and as far as I can judge, if there's any point to this movie, it's that no one ever needs to grow up. With Robert Towne, Henry Jaglom, David Ogden Stiers, and Cindy Williams.
