Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.

Siflutter It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

morrison-dylan-fan Originally planning to watch Preston Sturges The Miracle of Morgan's Creek,I decided after getting back home later than I had expected,to instead take a look,at the second movie in auteur film maker Russ Meyer's "Soap Opera" period.The plot:Laying in bed wide awake beside her sleeping husband,Angel Boland gets hit by a startling realisation that the spark from her marriage has completely fizzled out.Getting out of bed and ignoring the questions from her husband Burt, (who has only been divorced from his first wife for a short while) and the pleas from Burt's daughter Lana,Angel's drive's off in her car for a night of passion with a construction worker that she caught a glimpse of a few days ago,when skinny dipping.The next morning:Returning home feeling fulfilled for the first time in recent memory,Angel announces to Burt that she is going to carry on her "walk on the wild side",due to it fulfilling her needs in a manner that Burt has been unable to achieve for a long while.Surprised by Angel's new found excitement from taking her own route,Burt finds himself seriously considering to take his very own walk on the wild side…View on the film:Featuring a dad/daughter relationship and male nudity for the first time in any of his titles,co-producer/co-editor/cinematography/directing auteur Russ Meyer tones down the ill-fitting "Happening"/New Age Hippy elements of his last film,to instead create a warped soap- opera,that despite going down some delightful mystical sidetracks, (with the gorgeous Haji being an alluring Sorceress,who temps Burt to go on the wild side) is still held filmy together by Meyer keeping Angel and Burt's crumbling relationship troubles at the centre of the movie.Along with showing a fine skill in balancing the off-beat Soap-Opera and more Fantasy focused elements of the movie,Meyer and co-editor Richard S. Brummer display a new keen eye for the editing of sharp punch lines,thanks to Meyer and Brummer transforming a number of serious/exposition scenes, (all of which are well written)by using quick edits which allow for the punch lines to catch the audience completely by surprise.Working with Meyer for the last time, (although,he would reunite with Haji as a production assistant on the 1971 movie Up Your Ally) the screenplay by writer/sound engineer Jack Moran makes sure that their partnership ends with all guns blazing,thanks to Moran matching the cracking,whip smart dialogue, (delivered perfectly by a rugged and very easy on the eye cast) with a strong,episodic Soap-Opera like structure,with Moran taking full advantage of Angel and Burt's new outgoing desire,by having each of the men and women that they go after, be more crazy than the one before them,which leads to this movie being a perfect place to say good morning,and good bye to an amazing partnership.

Georgio A Russ Meyer fans may be a little disappointed when they watch this movie, because there's only one storyline and that is of going around having sex with 1 or 2 people. It's kind of boring because there's not too much nudity and it's lacking some action. The story is about an uninhibited woman who is always craving for sex, but her impotent old husband cannot fulfill her sexual needs, so she goes out and has sex with this other guy named "stone" and continues to taunt her old husband....that he's nothing but a boring old fart who can't get it up.What I found really stupid about this movie is this "forest girl" who supposedly lives in the forests. It's pretty lame to put a "forest girl " type character wearing jungle clothes. The old man takes a car ride into the forests , he notices the "forest girl" and he starts making love to her. The ending of the movie is pretty predictable. For all you "early adult movie" fans , I recommend "Mondo Topless", that movie is full of topless girls running around and showcasing mother nature's most luscious assets

Infofreak 'Good Morning... and Goodbye!' is one of Russ Meyer's more obscure movies. I wouldn't recommend it as an introduction to Meyer's strangely skewed world of sex and violence, but anybody already into his movies will not be disappointed. The best thing about the movie is the opening voice-over dialogue which I wish I could quote at length. It's priceless and pure Meyer, and is narrated over a montage of action shots which include most of the movie's nudity (which is very little). Written by Jack Moran, who also scripted Meyer's classic 'Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!' and his extremely underrated 'Common Law Cabin', it stars the wonderful Stuart Lancaster from the former, and the beautiful Alaina Capri, from the latter. Lancaster is one of Meyer's best loved actors, and Capri is arguably his most underrated actress. She only starred in two of his movies, but was not only hot, but played the bitch goddess roles as good as Eric Gavin ('Vixen!'). Why she is hardly mentioned when anyone discusses Meyer's leading ladies is a mystery to me. Lancaster and Capri play an unhappily married couple. Lancaster is rich but impotent, and Capri is sexually frustrated. Add to this Capri's blue collar boyfriend, and Lancaster's blossoming teenage daughter and you're set for some typically hysterical Meyer soap operaisms. To top it all off Haji memorably appears as a witch who gives Lancaster back his mojo. 'Good Morning... and Goodbye!' wouldn't make my list of favourite Russ Meyer movies, but it by no means his worst effort, and pretty entertaining. Fans should enjoy it, but beginners are advised to start with 'Faster Pussycat!' or 'Supervixens' for the real deal.

Maciste_Brother I like GOOD MORNING...AND GOODBYE! Yes, the whole thing is silly. The soapy elements are annoying but visually this movie rocks. Just look at the beginning of the movie, with the credits on the mailboxes. Fun and original. Even though I didn't care much about plight of the old man (impotence), I thought the whole visual juxtaposition of the horny construction worker (who sleeps with every women in town) against the rich old man who can't satisfy his own wife worked in a wicked way, certainly when this culminates in a bloody fist fight between the old man and the beefy construction worker at the end of the movie. Yep, sex and violence. And then there's Haji, who plays the earthy sorceress who helps the old man regain his mojo. She's the film's most beautiful woman, imo. It's obvious Haji had a lot of fun doing this picture.The film is dated on several levels. But the almost minimalist approach to the filmmaking (and the sometimes stunning photography) gives the movie a sorta timeless feel to it, which counters the really dated aspects. All in all, a pretty good Russ Meyer flick.
