I loved this film and truly believe that most people will find the movie boring and trite. That's because I am a huge fan of the Golden Age of Hollywood and only lovers of these old movies would find this lovingly made film interesting. The movie is broken down into two wonderful parodies of Warner Brothers movies--specifically a musical similar to 42nd STREET and a boxing film similar to KID GALAHAD. These parodies, though, are meant more as a homage to the genres, as the movie really seems to try to honor the style instead of ridicule the originals. It was like the exact same writers and sensibilities were magically transported to 1978. George C. Scott did a great job--it's too bad this film is a one of a kind.
score 8/10
