A drop-out from upper-class America picks up work along the way on oil-rigs when his life isn't spent in a squalid succession of bars, motels, and other points of interest.
Slice-of-life character study that still manages to hold one's interest thanks to strong performances.
Halliwell **: "Echoes of Easy Rider, The Graduate and Charlie Bubbles abound in this generally likeable but insubstantial modern anti-drama which at least takes place in pleasant surroundings and is firmly directed."
Maltin ****: "Brilliant character study...Nicholson's performance is superb, but...all contribute heavily...this is the film with Jack's famous "chicken salad sandwich" speech."
