Keep Off My Grass!

About This Movie

So, 'Keep Off My Grass!' is this quirky little comedy from 1975, though shot a bit earlier in 1971. It's got this offbeat vibe, showcasing a clash between the local merchants and the hippie crowd, which feels very much of its time. Micky Dolenz gives a decent performance as this dreamy kid just tending to a pot plant—there's something almost nostalgic about his character. The pacing is a bit uneven, which might throw some viewers off, but it really captures that freewheeling spirit of the era. The practical effects are minimal, but the whole aesthetic really transports you back. It’s a film that’s got its own charm, even if it doesn’t always land the jokes.

'Keep Off My Grass!' has seen limited release formats, with the original 1971 version being elusive for collectors. The VHS and DVD copies are out there, but they don’t pop up often, which adds to its rarity. There’s a certain curiosity among collectors about its themes of community and rebellion, and the film’s unique position in the timeline of 70s cinema makes it a compelling piece for anyone interested in that era.
