    One star for five minutes of Richard Pryor! The rest is quite boring.

    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...( read more) hearing while thier arent doing thier job at work.

    My sister and I saw this back in 1976 when we were teens. We laughed ourselves silly.

    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.

    Take a whole bunch of lively characters, shove em in a bag, shake em up a bit and then dump em out in a car wash for a day, and this is what you get. Cracking good fun to watch, and of course a killer soundtrack.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

The screenplay and the direction juggle the characters so adroitly, this is almost a wash-and-wax M*A*S*H. full review
