Uneven to the point of madness
1. The individual comedy bits don't work . At some level, you gotta like the guy and be rooting for him for it to be funny -- but he's usually just an obnoxious party-crashing bore. Just cuz Vanessa's thinks he's cute doesn't mean we have to.
2. The music is an awful Mingus-variant on that "waah-waah oom-pah jazz" that telegraphs punchlines and tries to compell audience reaction like a laugh track. The same thing happened in Belushi's "Neighbors."
3. The motivation for characters seems to shift from scene to scene. Other than being physically attractive, what on earth ties these two together other than the director's orders. Okay, she sorta kinda wants to rebel, and he sorta kinda enjoys wiggin' out for her. Or it's the sex. Or it's .. okay .. whatever .. nevermind.
4. I get the sense that the "cliched-societal-and-class restraints of 1962" were a bit different from the "cliched-societal-and-class restraints of 1966" -- and that tiny time warp threw the production off a bit.
5. Warner's dialogue with his mother when she tucks him in is my favorite, and is the most genuine moment in the movie, and is completely out of place with everything else.
6. All that said -- I'lll bet there's a decent period piece of a movie to be re-made here.

It's a super movie. Great acting, great directing, and a great story.
