I purchased a copy of it for about $10 at local discount store (can't
remember which).
It's a "cute" comedy (PG-13) with lots of 70's paraphenalia. Stars David
Cassidy and features Rob Reiner, Julie Brown, and Tommy Chong. Not only
is it a 70's send-up, but it's also a send-up of the Bicentennial. It's
got Kung Fu fighting, Twister, happy faces, est, and The Hustle.
You can get it for $80 here:

Anybody got any tips for me on getting my hands on a video of this
movie? I went to Blockbusters, Wherehouse, and a small mom & pop video
store and none of them had it. For those that never heard of it, it is
a movie about the 70's and has a lot of 70's musical stars and culture
in it.

Is this the one with David Cassidy?

I have that movie at my video store. Let me check with my distributor and
see if I can get a copy of it for you. It was a fun movie. I suggest it to
anyone who grew up in the 70s.

Lie! Falsehood! Untruth! Fib! Inaccuracy! Misstatement! Myth! Defamation!
(I just bought a new Thesaurus today) Anyway, it IS available on video. I
have a copy. :) Oh, by the way... everyone...have a great holiday. I
really enjoyed stumbling into this newsgroup and meeting all of you. Hope
the new year is wonderful for everyone.

into disco man. It has alot of great songs:
Spirit of '76 - The Dickies
Love's Theme - Love Unlimited Orchestra
Disco Inferno - The Trammps
Boogie Fever - The Sylvers
Turn The Beat Around - Vicki Sue Robinson
Play That Funky Music - Wild Cherry
Saturday Night - Bay City Rollers
We're An American Band - Grand Funk
Takin' Care of Business - Bachman-Turner Overdrive
1976 - Redd Kross
The Hustle - Van McCoy
Kung Fu Fighting - Carl Douglas
A Fifth of Beethoven - Walter Murphy
I recorded the movie off HBO. They show it about every 6 months or so.

I can't believe they left off "Pick Up The Pieces" by Average White
Band. That's the song playing during the opening credits. Great tune.
Jason LeBouef
I hear ya, and they omitted "afternoon delight" and "Love Chant".
Shane Hill
I too was disappointed about them leaving off these songs. They also left
off "Midnight at the Oasis" and "Saturday In the Park"
