I caught this film on IFC on some late night where I couldn't sleep. This film is a trip and a half. The colors are bold and the film is really about teenagers figuring out their place in life. The dialog is absolutely hilarious. I, myself, am a teenager and the stereotypical script really seemed to fit. Every character in this film, in my opinion, is just part of a high school stereotype that you get placed into during that age. Whether it be the awkward girl who wants to fit in, sex rampaging freaks or just some young 16 year olds trying to find a hoppin party. I wish I could find this movie on DVD. Really generation defining in my opinion. Try to not listen to the people who bash this movie saying it's trash and all of that. Well ... it is trash but the movie "knows" it's trashy and low-brow; so I guess it can pull it off. I'm actually surprised I haven't heard of it until now. Find it and watch it.

This is one of those few films you can watch over and over again just for the enjoyment of it. I knew little to nothing about the Monkey's besides they could be compared to the Backstreet Boys of my generation. For a group like this to make THIS film, "HEAD" is unbelievable. If you haven't seen this movie; find it. The soundtrack to the film is really the icing on the cake. Some of the best songs I've heard in a long time appear in "HEAD" (Porpoise Song, Daddy's Song, As we go along, Can You Dig It, Circle Sky). The film has really no plot or narrative to speak of but that's part of its charm. The film is more of a message from the Monkey's than a story. I have no idea how this film didn't skyrocket the career of the Monkey's into a new direction. GET HEAD. It'll be something to tell your friends.
