Quote is from the Beach Boys tune "Friends" which is what this movie is about. First, let me say off the bat that the movie was watchable given its genre. What kept bugging me, however, was that the character Jesse (Richard Hatch)looked so familiar but I just couldn't place him (until checking IMDb!).
This is a buddy movie between two very close friends who even shared a stint in the air force together. However, Jesse is now ready to settle down while his pal Pat (Doug Chapin) still wants to roam the countryside with his buddy like old times. They cruise the southwest in a rented motor home with their respective girlfriends. Although Jesse plans on marrying his girlfriend Kathy and taking a truck driving job in California, Pat has let his girlfriend Jo Ella know he has no intentions on settling down.
The rest of the movie shows Pat becoming increasingly unstable about Kathy's plans to marry Jesse and he increases his attempt to drive them apart. He eventually gets his girlfriend Jo Ella to sleep with Jesse to further his cause. The end could have been better as Pat causes Jesse to accidentally shoot and kill Kathy. However, we are left with the 3 remaining "friends" just sitting on the beach without wrapping up whether or not Jesse will join Pat in his travels. Jo Ella just hangs around and we are left to wonder what will become of her.
