A touchstone junk comedy from 1976, this ensemble piece helped set a precedent for movies with lots of characters and a vague narrative excuse for putting them all in the same movie. In this case, a car wash is the junction as director Michael Schultz strings comic set pieces together featuring well-known comedians and some new faces. Joel Schumacher wrote the script (he"s since gone on to direct A Time to Kill and Batman Forever), and while the jokes don"t exactly fly, the performers are fun to watch and the scenario is like fickle weather: if you don"t like a particular scene, wait a second and a new one will be right along. The DVD release has a full-screen presentation, optional French and Spanish subtitles, English captions, and Dolby sound. --Tom Keogh
