    A classic comedy and well filmed too. Almost perfect except for the melodrama about robbing the Car Wash...duh.

    Car Wash is about a close-knit group of black employees who one day have all manner of strange visitors coming onto their forecourt, including Richard Pryor as a preaching 'wonder-man' who is loved by most but loathed by one, and a man who looks like a thief by the way he is holding his bottle, but it is really his urine sample as he is off to the hospital. T.C's love life takes a turn for the better and the songs keep coming.

    A fine blaxploitation-era comedy, which juggles an amazing number of characters with almost no confusion whatsoever, with subplots and a jokes on as many different levels of appeal as there are characters. Lively and entertaining.

    A movie about people goofing off at work. I can only name a handfull for these types of movies, and I gotta say that they are my absolute favorite. The day to day life of the folks working at a car wash. This just goes to show that you never know what people are saying, doing, or hearing while thier arent doing thier job at work.

    this is just as much as historical movie about black folks in the 70's as it is a comedy. it's a must see. if you love history, you'll read ten thousand different things into this!

    Very impressed how the radio was used throughout the film not only for playing the great Rose Royce soundtrack but also moving the stories along. The crew at the car wash and their crazy customers made for a hilarious day in the southern California sun. Seen this one many times.

    Classic 70's flick that's funny as hell. Alot of careers were launched from this one. George Carlin's first film!

    Don't be fooled by the billing on this film. Richard Pryor is only in it for about 5 minutes. But that's not to say that this film should not be viewed by just about everyone. Car Wash is definitely just as much a chronicle of the times, as it is the day that the story covers. What you really have is a series of vignettes revolving around the employees of a late seventies Los Angeles car wash. Very cool movie that really influenced a culture as well as a generation of filmmakers, storytellers and actors.
