Extremely Boring

This film is set in Chicago, where a tow truck company owned by "Butch" (J. J. Johnston) abuses his authority by having employees haul away cars parked illegally for extremely limited periods, then charging outrageous fees for their return. Unsurprisingly, this upsets most affected people; however, since they rely on their automobiles, they generally pay the fee regardless. However, things begin to change when two young women named "Jean" (Jennifer Ashley) and "Lynn" (Sue Lyon) investigate further and uncover the truth about the entire operation. With the help of their boyfriends, "Tony" (Bobby Di Cicco) and "Chris" (Joe Mantegna), these two women decide to fight back. Rather than reveal any more, I will just say that this movie is a rather bland, low-budget comedy that suffers from a poor script, awful background music, and a lack of a cohesive plot. Quite frankly, I found this film to be boring overall, and I have rated it accordingly.

Dreadful music, hairstyles and fashion of the 1970s

This film is hilariously bad and has acting so wooden, it belongs in the saw mill. But it also had some unforgettable lines.There are about 3 or 4 songs in this film that are played and played to death throughout. It's the kind of music that did not stand the test of time. I guess it was made on a shoestring budget.Parts of the film make absolutely no sense. Such as a lighthearted scene that switches to a completely serious melodramatic scene a few seconds later where the girl looks morbidly depressed while the music playing in the background sings, "...you're only a moment..." Then it switches back to the comical movie it's supposed to be.The film is badly edited with scenes repeating themselves later on in the film. Much of a film seems to be at night time (for no justifiable reason) or at day time in really poor lighting. Maybe it was filmed in Alaska.
