Film Summary CXLIX (Taking off)

Starring Lynn Carlin and Buck Henry

In what I can only describe as a character drama, it falls into a catagory similar to Pulp Fiction or Mary Brown only it's more realistic dialogue as opposed to the Quentin Tarantino movie made realism dialogues. Maybe it's better to compare it to Nick and Nikki the movie with Peter Falk.

It might be the greatest marijuana movie ever made. And yes I'm putting it above Cheech and Chong which is a great comedy. But this film really betrays just what it is marijuana is good for and it involves a class of people that are usually against marijuana ''especially in film''.
A story revolving around 2 parents trying to figure out where their daughters gone (who's running off to a kind of Open Mic concert)

They eventually come across an Organization of parents who are all looking for various runaway children, while all the children are gone the parents discovered a new reason for living.

there's also a phenomenal scene wear a group of middle-aged conservative parents are taught how to use marijuana in the smoking of a blunt. Which leads to strip poker.
