Review of Blue Summer

Blue Summer (1973)
4/10
Quite silly road trip explicit comedy
2 August 2023
Relatively not viewed many films from the 1970's, but being aware of the several skin films from that time period. Had no expectations about this film but having an idea of what to expect given its basic plot description. It is quite about as expected with its silly and not exactly funny humor, it's few explicit scenes and an overall sense of freedom.

The lead characters aren't too bad, likeable enough, acted as expected but as we kept watching, they seemed quite idiotic. They didn't realize the first group of women (the hitchhikers) were blatantly robbing them. The women they were able to get with were quite easy. Especially the second scene involving the two hippie characters. They just happened to be there. Then the finales with the married housewife (same woman near the beginning asking for directions) and the no name lake girl in the bikini. They seemingly thru themselves to the leads with such ease. We're every girl that desperate? Seemed unrealistic.

Also there is a funny mysterious biker character whom seemed to be stalking the leads throughout but there is a payoff in the end.

In the end the film is enjoyable enough, not as boring as thought but nothing special. It has the feel of a hardcore film with its explicit scenes cut down a bit. It is also short in runtime so it's easy to pass time.
