70's hi-jinks...

Rating: 8/10 (15 April 2018)

Once again Shane Black delivers his brand of kooky well timed humour with a solid plot and characters. Younger viewers may not get all the references but for someone who lived through the 70's, albeit as a kid, it brought back many a memory.
Unfortunately, this kind of film needs a somewhat large budget to re-create that era and since it's not a teen sex comedy or one with the current trend of comedy actors doing their shtick, it doesn't draw in the big crowds Hollywood brass hunger for to declare it a "hit". Like Black's previous similar buddy-buddy comedy, KISS KISS BANG BANG, this kind of film picks up speed audience wise in the secondary market like Netflix, etc. and becomes a "cult" classic.
It is well worth the viewing....
