Charles Matthau's take on Elmore Leonard's Freaky Deaky offers a delightful watch. While the original novel was deeply rooted in the 1980s ambiance, Matthau masterfully transports the setting to the vibrant 1970s, infusing the film with a rich tapestry of outfits, vehicles, settings, and a wonderfully bold kitschy aesthetic. The film boasts an impeccable cast, weaving a tale of three main groups, each chasing after the allure of quick riches. The narrative revolves around the sharp-witted former bomb squad officer, Chris Mankowski (Burke), paired with the vivacious Greta (Sabina Gadecki); the extravagantly whimsical millionaire, Woody (Glover), and his trusted driver and confidant, Donelle (White); and the sultry ex-convict Robin (Breanne Racano) alongside her explosive aficionado boyfriend, Skip Gibbs (Slater). Enhanced by a groovy 1970s-inspired soundtrack and sharp, clever dialogue, this film undoubtedly stands tall within its category. It's a must-watch!
