| eFilmCritic.comScott WeinbergLong before Austin Powers and That 70's Show "created" the 1970's nostalgia wave there was a cheap little indie comedy that came and went before anybody noticed. |
| Lawrence Journal-WorldJon NiccumUneven but fairly amusing sendup of '70s culture |
| User ReviewKathy DThis film covers the time when I was eleven years old: the fervor around the U.S.A.'s bicentennial (1976.) Some sexual material makes it inappropriate for pre-teens I've told my nine-year old son Dimitri that he can watch it with me when he is twelve.. I own the DVD. if you're an established friend, and want to watch it with me, call my cell phone: +1 (310) 463-1377 |
| User ReviewKelly DYou'd think this was made back in 1976! |
| User ReviewNoah SThis one cracked me up! I love a movie that doesn't take itself seriously. More cameos than you can shake a stick at too. |
| User ReviewOmy TThis movie didn't have much to it but it was hilarious. Kind of reminded me of Austin Powers and making fun of the 70's. |
| User ReviewOri GTime travel adventure powered by eye drops |
| User ReviewDavid FQuite cheesy, but entertaining at the same time. |
| User ReviewLeo LHilarious movie! Definitely a movie from childhood. Whoa! I just commented on this previously. Oh well. |
| User ReviewMark TSupposedly one of the first movies to spoof 70's culture, opening the floodgates for a bunch of other shit.. This was just not very good.. I remember enjoying it a lot more when I was younger.. The McDonald brothers from Red Kross are the best thing in the movie.. Oh and Devo.. And Rodney Snodgrass is the most annoying character in cinematic history.. |
