Far Out Man (Full Frame)

Much has happened in the last twenty years that has altered history forever - Glasnost, Ronald Regan, Watergate, PacMan - but for some, like "Far Out Man," life hasn't changed a single bit. It's still time to par-ty! "Far Out Man," as played by the "far out" Tommy Chong, is left-over hippie musician who's not quite aware the Woodstock era is over. Never mind that everyone around him considers work, health and money their main priorities. To him, upward mobility is being able to walk up a flight of stairs. Through a fluke series of circumstances, Far Out Man inadvertently leaves his self-styled dilapidated version of Disneyland, called "Hippieland," and ventures out into the real world for the first time since the 60s. It's an occasion neither Far Out Man, in particular, or possibly the world in general will ever quite forget. Rae Dawn Chong is worried about her father. The popular, acclaimed actress is about to start production on a new movie but her concentration rests with dad, a.k.a. Far Out Man, an eternal hippie musician for whom time stopped at the breakup of his marriage during the Woodstock era. Realizing her father has a definite problem, Rae Dawn calls on Dr. Liddledick (Martin Mull), an accomplished psychiatrist who plans to hypnotize Far Out Man to bring him into the 1990s. During this session, Far Out Man vividly remembers the dissolution of his marriage to Tree (Shelby Chong), whom he kicked out of his band and her subsequent walking out of his life with their infant son Kyle. He also fondly reminisces about his creation of Hippieland. Dr. Liddledick, understanding Far Out Man's problems, realizes in order for the Man to be cured, his mind must continually be occupied. As such, through hypnotic suggestion, Far Out Man is convinced to resurrect his career as a rock and roll band roadie...then the fun really starts!.
