Leary's life was undoubtedly a long, strange trip, but this authorized documentary is a bland, nostalgic hagiography. Friends of Leary affectionately recall their mind-bending adventures with, as labeled by Richard Nixon, “the most dangerous man in America,” and pay tribute to his excesses that helped launch the hippie movement. David's film closes with a shot of Leary's cryogenically frozen head.
