The film dives into the carefree, sometimes reckless world of two teenage girls who find themselves tangled up in the beatnik lifestyle. There's a real sense of the era’s youthful rebellion and a distinct anti-establishment vibe. The pacing ebbs and flows, reflecting their highs and lows, and you can really feel this tension building as their escapades take a darker twist. The performances, while not from major stars, have a raw, authentic feel that captures the innocence and reckless abandon of youth. It’s a snapshot of a time when life was all about spontaneity, but it doesn’t shy away from showing the consequences of that lifestyle.

'Life's Just Great' is a bit of a hidden gem in the collector's circuit, often overlooked due to its lesser-known director and cast. The film has seen limited releases and there’s not a ton of memorabilia around it, making original prints and promotional materials quite sought after. Collectors who appreciate the nuances of 60s youth culture and its cinematic representations might find this title particularly intriguing. It does have a certain charm that resonates with the exploration of freedom and consequence.
