It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time (1975)

This is a good comedy from the SEVENTIES.

This is a good comedy from the SEVENTIES. It is not a "John Candy Movie". He is in it and play's a very good early John Candy, but more than that, it is an enjoyable movie from a time when comedy and slapstick took some thinking and not so many special effects and mindless humor. If you like early Peter Sellers or Monty Python you may also enjoy this. Stephany Powers is very funny and show's her "Heart to Heart" wit before it came about years later. Isaac Hayes is a great "side kick" and lends an artistic reality to the film that reminds me of people and art I so dearly miss. Yes, it is a dated comedy but is still well worth a viewing on a cold night when you just want to laugh and think about times past.
