Leave your thoughts about Serial.
| DVDTalk.comDavid CorneliusThe film is ruthless in bidding a not-so-fond farewell to the Me Decade. |
| User ReviewCharles MThis is my favorite movie of all time. Having grown up in the SF Bay Area in the 60s & 70s, this film captured one of the many facets of life there. At least for me! Martin Mull was great as always, and Tommy Smothers made me laugh. |
| User ReviewFritz BMartin Mull leads a class cast of comedians in this clever satire of superficiality, social class, pop psychology, fads, drug use, and social trends. Hard to find but worth it it you can. |
| User Reviewmark vSerial hasn't aged well. The music, plot, and dialogue all were perfectly suited to parody the hippy dippy excesses of Southern California circa 1980. Now having someone's daughter run off and join a cult and constantly using the term "fag" are respectively anachronistic and unthinkable. While Martin Mull is still funny no matter what decade we're in, and some of the lines still elicit a chuckle, most of the movie belongs in the museum of "So that's what was funny 30 years ago?" |
| User ReviewNeil BTalk about not holding up! I watched this again, admittedly for just one phrase, but it's really terrible. I like a lot of the people in it, but it's almost painful to watch. Despite the awfulness of it, it does parody a segment of the society most choose to forget. Yes it really was like that. I don't feel cheated, but I do feel like I just watched a bad sitcom. I'm rating it higher than it deserves. |
