With the help and support of Bob Rafaelson (co-producer, co-writer and director) and Jack Nicholson (co-producer, co-writer, and, if you look closely, bit player), the Monkees expressed their displeasure over being packaged for popular consumption in the non sequitur masterpiece Head. At least, it seems that the film is an indictment of the merchandising of pop stars. It's hard to tell at times, because Head literally has no plot; it is instead a patchwork of loopy sight gags, instant parodies, "camp" cutups, musical numbers and wry inside jokes. Clips of such old movies as the 1934 Karloff-Lugosi epic The Black Cat pop up every so often, as does an impressive lineup of pop-culture icons: Victor Mature, Annette Funicello, Sonny Liston, Frank Zappa (he's the one leading a cow) and Ray Nitschke, as well as such movie-trivia "answers" as Timothy Carey, Vito Scotti, Teri Garr, Percy Helton, Logan Ramsey, Carol Doda, and pre-Divine cross-dresser T.C. Jones. The best bits include a lengthy Golden Boy parody which does double duty as a lampoon of the network's efforts to create "personalities" for the individual Monkees, and a psychedelic buck-and-wing performed by Davy Jones. One gag, in which Micky Dolenz blows up a Coca Cola machine, is usually excised from TV showings. Head did zero business when it first came out thanks to poor distribution, but it has since become a fixture of midnight-movie showings and campus cinema classes. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi Movie Release on Theater Nov 20, 1968 Wide | |

Head Movie Review | |
| The clean-cut kids and the created kinetics work up a 'so-what' reaction too soon in the 85-minute stretch seques from war to westerns to desert chases to mad scientist brushes in the Columbia lot. Variety Staff-Variety Despite obviously dated aspects like clumsy psychedelic effects and some turgid slapstick sequences, the film is still remarkably vital and entertaining. Derek Adams-Time Out The movie is, nonetheless, of a certain fascination in its joining of two styles: pot and advertising. Renata Adler-New York Times Sometimes it succeeds. Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times It's uneven but mostly a blast. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader In which The Monkees get stoned, commit career suicide, and end up accidentally making one of the best movies of the 1960s. David Cornelius-Popcornworld ... a surreal mix of psychedelia and satire, a loopy twist on their lighthearted TV show with a dark undercurrent squeezed in between genre parodies. Sean Axmaker-Parallax View There is an inherent curiosity quotient for any project this inherently whacked out, which helps smooth over the underlying rub that Rafelson is using the film to rather portentously blow his own horn James Kendrick-Q Network Film Desk An entertaining mess. Phil Hall-Film Snobbery If the Beatles were housebroken Marx Brothers, the Monkees here are gutty Bowery Boys Fernando F. Croce-CinePassion Mad, but highly watchable. Kim Newman-Empire Magazine The result is a visually daring cinematic game that is virtually plotless and better off for being so. -TV Guide's Movie Guide It's no Monty Python. Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews Equal parts good trip, bad trip, and cheesefest. Leo Goldsmith-Not Coming to a Theater Near You The great movie suicide attempt. The Monkees succeed in killing their careers. Eric Lurio-Greenwich Village Gazette Messy it may be, but Head acts as a fascinating document that marked the passing of Woodstock's loved-up summer into the violent winter of Altamont. -Film4 Considered a train wreck in 1968, this rock flick keeps getting better with age. Gerry Shamray-Sun Newspapers of Cleveland It's the deliberate assassination of the group by the group itself -- as far removed from their carefully crafted TV image as possible.
