This movie was brilliant, funny, and had a dynamite soundtrack.
As I was watching I kept waiting for the movie to devolve into a joke. Maybe because it looked low budget, maybe because Jimmy Walker was in it being his same hamming self, or maybe because it was done in 1975. Whatever the reason I was steadily anticipating failure and delightfully it never happened. It remained fresh, funny, and intelligent throughout.
Now, I can't conclude this review without mentioning one of the characters: Biggie Smalls (Calvin Lockhart).
"Biggie Smalls is the illest Your style is played out like that "Whatchu talkin' bout Willis"
The only Biggie Smalls I'd ever known was the Notorious B.I.G. I had no idea that he borrowed/stole/appropriated the name Biggie Smalls from this movie. That makes one more reason this movie was worthwhile.
