646f9e108c Jonathan Demme directs this joyous relentlessly kitschy celebration of 1950s America: opportunity, rock'n'roll, and the road. He follows three generations of women and the men they pick up, for a crime spree from California to the old family homestead in Arkansas.
Melba, a widow in the 1950s, begins a wacky life of crime when she loses her Long Beach beauty parlor. She's joined by her mother Sheba, her pregnant daughter Cheryl, and her daughter's boyfriend Shawn. They head for Arkansas in a stolen Cadillac and a wood-paneled station wagon with an old lady, a greaser and defecting sheriff Jim Bob. Great '50s hits include "Black Slacks" and "Transfusion."
Jonathan Demme directs this joyous unrelentlessly kitschy celebration of 50's America: opportunity, rock'n'roll, and the road.

The film debut of both Bill Paxton and Dennis Quaid. And Dick Miller appears! Oh, and it is directed by Jonathan Demme (his second feature) and produced by Julie Corman? Excellent! <br/><br/>The actual film is pretty silly, with bank robbery and general hijinks that seemed par for the course in the mid-1970s, at least in the world of Roger and Julie Corman. What I enjoyed most about this film was actually the soundtrack – a great use of classic songs in this movie, which probably took much of the budget.
Flighty'n'spunky Melba Stokes (a wonderfully zesty performance by Cloris Leachman), several members of her kooky family, and a couple of wacky misfits join forces to embark on a colorful crime spree in the 50's. Director Jonathan Demme, working from a sharp and witty script by Robert Thom, ably crafts a spirited and affectionate tribute to the gloriously kitschy 50's: Sparked by a nonstop zippy pace, a first-rate soundtrack of choice golden oldies, engagingly quirky characters, a very funny sense of off-the-wall humor, and a few exciting and well-staged action set pieces, this movie crackles with a certain infectiously bubbly energy that's a total treat to behold. Moreover, the cast play the campy material with tremendous joy and gusto: Ann SouthernMelba's feisty mother Sheba, Stuart Whitmanamiable cowboy Jim Bob, Linda PurlMelba's sweet, pregnant daughter Cheryl, Don MostCheryl's dippy surfer boyfriend Shawn, Bryan Englandtough greaser biker Snake, Merie Earlespry nursing home escapee Bertha, Sally KirklandJim Bob's ditsy wife Ella Mae, Jim Backusruthless businessman Mr. Albertson, and Dick Millerbumbling cop Wilbur Janeway. Popping up in quick bits are Dennis Quaid, Bill Paxton, and Will Sampson. Bruce Logan's sunny cinematography gives the picture a nice bright look and makes cool use of wipes. Snotty Scotty and the Hankies supply a twangy and flavorsome score. An immensely fun flick.
