Like Depalma's early offbeat N.Y comedies, You're A Big Boy now presumably has great nostalgic appeal for those who grew up in New York, and/or in the 60's and appreciate films that try to capture something about what it was like to be young in that 'freewheeling' time. For the rest of us, they are just mildly amusing historical curiosities at best. While Coppola formally channels the French New Wave, unlike Godard or Truffaut, he has nothing insightful to say about being young in the 60's.

As with The Graduate, there is the sensation of driving for something new other than the conformist, disappointing world of the socially safe adults. By now, though, we've hopefully become tired of the increasingly low common denominator movies about the induction of horny young men into the mores of sex. But first of all, this light, quirky sophomore directorial effort---following his requisite Roger Corman warm-up debut---was the pioneer of the bunch.

This is a wacky comedy that was clearly made in the 1960's. The characters are very unbelievable. It has some interesting moments but not enough to recommend.

The story isn't great, but the directing is wonderful, a sign of things to come.
