How is the world wrong about this movie?
From Bryan: Despite the true talent that made this movie, despite it being a breezy but smart good time, this movie failed to bring in audiences. It also is sadly never mentioned when folks gush about seventies movies 24-7. Well, heck, I guess we’ll gush about it.
