Hootenanny a Go-Go

About This Movie

Hootenanny a Go-Go is this quirky blend of comedy, drama, and music that really captures the vibe of the mid-60s folk scene. You've got this rich kid, totally out of his element, trying to win over a folk singer by diving headfirst into the beatnik culture. The pacing can feel a bit uneven, but it adds to the charm. The performances are a mixed bag, with standout moments from The Goldebriars and The Free Wheelers that really bring that coffee house energy alive. And then there's Joan Rivers—seeing her so young doing stand-up is pretty wild. It's like a time capsule, reflecting the clash between the establishment and the counterculture, but with a lighthearted twist.
