Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

This movie has had some terrible reviews and

This movie has had some terrible reviews and was a box office disaster, but I've watched it multiple times and love it. There are so many disparate scenes of pure genius that stick in the mind...the robber clearing the actress's welfare cheque...the the search for lost loot in the garbage scow... the Old Fashioned lunch... on and on. ????????

Beau Bridges, Beverly D' Angelo, Daniel Stern, and several others in a wacky comedy 'tour' de force directed by John Schlesinger Ticlaw is a small town in Florida barely known to most in fact it's just a tiny blip on the map A freeway is scheduled to be built on top of it thereby getting rid of the tourism the town thrives on So the residents decide to take matters into their own hands by demolishing the freeway making drivers stop by their home It might be the only way they can earn enough money to keep business afloat and from shutting down What follows is over-the-top town politics that include painting the town pink, dynamite, water-skiing elephants, free gas and food, and more The movie acts as a satire of American excess as well as the American way of life You can tell how desperate these people are with this town being so down its luck hoping for a miracle This actually reminded me a lot of 'Cold Turkey' with a similar thing of a town struggling to be put back on the map The characters here get into all kinds of shenanigans but aren't as memorable Still Schlesinger tries his best to put in politics and religion during a time period of America's early years Being crude and sweet may not always work in this movie's favor but it does show a town's citizens and their dedication to keep their existence alive and fruitful Sure this movie may have failed initially during its release but it's far from the disaster many claim it is The songs are really nice in here too
