YMMV / Skidoo

• Funny Moments: The closing credits song is undoubtedly the best part of the movie.
• Harsher in Hindsight: God's complaints about getting old and wishing that he was young again seem a lot harsher when you find out that Groucho Marx spent the last five years of his life going in and out of hospitals and in constant pain.
• Uncertain Audience: While Preminger was very in step with the youth of the day in the sociopolitical and counter-cultural senses, he was painfully dated in terms of aesthetic instincts; thus, a movie celebrating the joys of LSD and free love... structured as an old-fashioned, stagey musical with a cast full of square, elderly comedians and performers, ensuring that it appealed to neither hippie teenagers nor conservative old fogeys.
