Lisa M Roger Ebert can kiss my a$$. This remains one of my GO TO movies if I need a laugh! I first watched this classic 46 years ago! It is more relevant NOW than it was THEN!! If you’re not an idiot and you love comedy with some really excellent acting, WATCH THIS MOVIE! You will NOT regret it! It’s a hidden gem!! I’m not kidding. In 2024 this is allll toooo relevant AGAIN!! 🤦‍♀️🤣🙌👍 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review Dave K Dated production that looks and sounds like 70s tv. And that's just half the fun! This hidden gem (took nearly 2 decades to be re-issued for home vid) still informs about the silliness of west coast new age spiritualism today. Yes it's still relevant. It's a bible for life when dealing with ridiculous progressives in the way Mike Judge's Idiocracy nails the zeitgeist of macho ‘Merica. Some of the funniest punch lines in movie history with a smart-alec cast. Mull at his snarkiest and Kellerman's character Martha slays…as does the rest of the cast. Endless one-liners, two-liners. Martha's wedding vows with Tommy Smothers as reverend: Martha: you-ness, me-ness, us-ness, we-ness, together-ness. And now, Bill, I'd like to hear where your head is at. Bill: Martha, thank you for pushing my buttons, for I am an asshole, which is neither good nor bad. It just is. Bam. Thank you, Serial. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/19/22 Full Review robert m A whacky little cult film that's still relevant to America in the 21st century. The "Me Decade" was the link between Woodstock and Wall Street. The bourgeois bohemians first appeared in places like Marin County. New "lifestyles" have developed with lots of pop psychology to "justify" the new narcissism. This movie is filled with caricatures but it delivers some social satire that's needed as the economy and the environment change. Have fun while the money lasts. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review mark v A wonderful movie that represents the "granola" culture of the 1970's in California. Terrific cast with clever dialog. If you grew up during this time you will love it!! Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Serial hasn't aged well. The music, plot, and dialogue all were perfectly suited to parody the hippy dippy excesses of Southern California circa 1980. Now having someone's daughter run off and join a cult and constantly using the term "fag" are respectively anachronistic and unthinkable. While Martin Mull is still funny no matter what decade we're in, and some of the lines still elicit a chuckle, most of the movie belongs in the museum of "So that's what was funny 30 years ago?" Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Deliciously funny 1980 satire about a group of "me generation" folks looking for happiness with all the latest fads in Marin County, California. The terrific ensemble is led by Martin Mull and Tuesday Weld with standout perfomances by Christopher Lee and the always delightful Sally Kellerman. Loved it!!!
