It&#8217;s a depressing yet amusing farce, set during Nixon&#8217;s triumphant election over Humphrey in 1968, presumably to show that self-absorbed individuals may merit leadership by equally self-absorbed politicians. However, the primary focus is on George (Beatty) as he zips around L.A. (helmetless) on his Triumph motorcycle:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Shampoo-Motorcycle.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Shampoo-Motorcycle-1024x568.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-55510\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Shampoo-Motorcycle-1024x568.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Shampoo-Motorcycle-300x166.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Shampoo-Motorcycle-128x71.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Shampoo-Motorcycle-768x426.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Shampoo-Motorcycle-1536x851.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Shampoo-Motorcycle-487x270.png 487w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Shampoo-Motorcycle-1038x576.png 1038w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Shampoo-Motorcycle.png 1813w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>doing women&#8217;s hair while hopping from one bed to the next. Beatty plays on his own public image as a sexual Lothario, ultimately coming across as hedonistically distracted at the cost of any other considerations (including loyalty, honesty, or the chance to open his own business).
