Seemed better at the time

Let me start by saying that I saw this movie during its (short) original release. The drive-in had a couple dozen custom vans along the rear wall. I can only assume the shenanigans on the screen were being duplicated in the row of rolling bedrooms. Hey, it was the '70s.This time I watched on Prime, some 56 years later. How the times have changed. While I still find the film amusing, some of it is a little hard to watch. What may have been considered acceptable by 1977 morals would never fly today. Apparently no didn't mean no, it meant "that's ok, keep trying, she'll come around eventually." That said, it's still an interesting piece of '70s culture. Custom vans, CB radios, 8-tracks and pot. Lots of pot. It was the end of the free love generation.It's certainly not for everyone, but for those looking for an entertaining trip back to their own teen years it's worth a watch.

Dude gets a sweet van and gets laid

The plot, as much as there is one, is about a guy buying a van to get laid, then getting laid. That's pretty much it. The main character has a goofy grin on his face 90% of the time and the music is painfully literal, but you know what, this is a cute 70's time capsule with the fashion, locations, cars, and hairstyles. Not gonna win any awards, but still worth a late night watch.
