Overview

Harold Fine is a self-described square - a 35-year-old Los Angeles lawyer who's not looking forward to middle age nor his upcoming wedding. His life changes when he falls in love with Nancy, a free-spirited, innocent, and beautiful young hippie. After Harold and his family enjoy some of her "groovy" brownies, he decides to "drop out" with her and become a hippie too. But can he return to his old life when he discovers that the hippie lifestyle is just a little too independent and irresponsible for his tastes?

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A comedy about a buttoned-up lawyer seduced by the hippie dream through love and brownies, charting his fumbling attempts to reinvent himself before realizing he doesn't quite fit anywhere. It's a gentle, playful satire on the clash between establishment rigidity and counterculture liberation, grounded in the genuine bewilderment of someone caught between two worlds.
