Review of American Graffiti (1973) by Fergus S — 14 Jun 2010

To me this film was a lot like Nashville. Prior to watching Nashville I had never had so much Bluegrass/Country music pumped into my head at one time in such a short period, and if I had not worked at the restaurant Cheeburger Cheeburger for a good year, I would have had the same experience with this film and 50's/60's music. having worked at said restaurant, I knew pretty much every song that was in the film by memory. but enough about that. I really liked this movie. It had good acting, a great cast (Ron Howard, Richard Dreyfuss, and Harrison Ford to mane a few), and a great screenplay as well. it was overall a great film that I would suggest to anyone who has not seen it. although, I am on a liquid diet thanks to my wisdom teeth and they spent a lot of the movie eating juicy burgers and fries...oooh I would kill for some of those... ahem well, I am complaining too much. I just had to rant there sorry about that. but yes the movie, yes yes the movie, it was very good, uuuh yes, go see it. yeah. uuh, yeah it was good. so alright then. I guess I'm done. yeah. peace.

TRIVIA TIME: 1. Harrison Ford was asked to cut his hair for the film. He refused, stating that his role was too short, and offered to wear a hat instead.

2. The film's budget was exactly $777,777.77, and it was delivered on time - and on budget.
