User Review - 10/10 by Joe MThis is hysterical. So many funny lines to quote. "I'm sittin up front.. na-na-na-na-naaaa"
User Review - 10/10 by Jason WNothing like a star-studded comedy romp from '81.
User Review - 10/10 by Brody MThis movie was funny from beginning to end.Everyboody should see it at least once.
User Review - 8/10 by J RThis is a fun film. One of my favorites. Licky the Carnivorous Pony is the best!
User Review - 8/10 by John WThis is a classic 1980's movie. It's great to see actors in roles when they were much much younger....or alive in some cases.
User Review - 8/10 by Stephen CHated by most critics at the time for its sprawling narrative ,this movie is one of the first ones i watched on my own as a kid. The basic premise is a good one Small town tries more outlandish schemes to get an Exit ramp built from the Freeway. What makes it funn is the colurful bunch of folks in the town and on the road. William Devane is great as the mayor of Ticlaw and Hume Croyn and Jessica Tandy as wonderful as an old couple he still bitter at losing his job she who has 5 old fashioned cocktails to keep her going. Also worth mentioning arer George Dzunda and Joe Grifasi as bankrobbing bin men and a watersking elephant. Sure the story is all over the place but i enjoy the film and fell it deserves another chance a neglected gem
User Review - 6/10 by Libby TI'm going to have to watch this movie again. Some parts of it I didn't understand. Overall, the movie is slow and ends with confusion.
User Review - 6/10 by Private UTotally worth my time. Loved the stupidity of it. Only in the late 70s early 80s could this have even been made. It is a far cry from excellent, but worth watching once. I love Showtime-On-Demand. Where else could you find such a forgotten masterpiece?
User Review - 6/10 by Joey LVery different, but was funny. I like this movie. I will not buy it, but its something to watch one tv.
User Review - 6/10 by Stuart KDirected by John Schlesinger, who after nearly 2 decades of making quite serious minded films, decided he wanted to try his hand at making a comedy. He was pitched this idea by producer Don Boyd (The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle (1980) and Aria (1987)), which was a satire on American commercialism and America's love with the open road. Some of it works, and some of it doesn't In the sleepy Florida town of Ticlaw, the town's mayor is dismayed when Kirby T. Calo (William Devane) is dismayed when they learn a nearby freeway being built will have no turn off to Ticlaw, even though they paid the road builders to do so. When that doesn't happen, they paint the town pink to attract tourists, and though various circumstances, visitors to Florida from all over America end up in Ticlaw. They include elderly couple Carol (Jessica Tandy) and Sherm (Hume Cronyn); a cocaine dealing hitchhiker (Daniel Stern), apspiring children's author Duane Hansen (Beau Bridges) and two nuns (Geraldine Page and Deborah Rush). It's a very silly film which includes a flyover getting blown up, an elephant on water ski's and a whole town painted pink. Understandably, this made it a very expensive film for it's day, and no thanks to poor promotion, it was a massive flop. It hurt Schlesinger's career for a few years, but it's not that bad, just a mess.
