If you like quirky well written comedies this will be right up you alley. Its a shame Belushi was taken from us so soon as this flick shows the versitility of comedic style. Initally panned by critics and fans alike (people were expecting another Blues Brothers I guess) this is a film that deserves to be revisited because it was well ahead of its time IMO.
Really sharp satire of the "white picket fence" culture delivered by a strong cast and beautifully shot by John G. Avildsen this flick is a winner.

The R4 DVD I watched is a bare bones release which was a bit disappointing as I would've like to have seen some insights of what went on behind the scenes to pull it all together.
