The story about a 40 something year old, falling in love with a 14 year old girl that is the daughter to the woman he married is a might bit creepy, yet disturbingly hilarious. Kubrick captures the rapidly changing era by subtly pushing music, fashion and lingo into the foreground at perfectly timed moments. However, every single character in this film is incredibly unlikable and makes the film difficult to care about. With that being said, Peter Sellers inevitably steals every scene he has with his trademark disguises. Had it not been for the interesting character study and direction I would have given it the ol' heave ho out the window.
