  | Car Wash Full Screen Actors: Franklyn Ajaye, Sully Boyar, Richard Brestoff, George Carlin, Irwin Corey Genres: Comedy, Drama PG 2001 1hr 37min Richard Pryor's face is plastered all over the cover of Car Wash, but don't be fooled. This slight comedy, made in 1976, is an ensemble piece much like Robert Altman's or Alan Rudolph's all-star movies in that there are a ... more » |

Movie ReviewsGreat movie, DO NOT BUY THIS DVD Lunarcontact | Beverly Hills, CA USA | 04/11/2005 (1 out of 5 stars) "Carwash is a classic film in its own genre. However, the DVD version is cut. If you watch the Television broadcast version (Such as on BET: Black Entertainment Television) you will see the original scenes that were in the original theater version. For instance, the scene with Danny DeVito in a jealous rage with his wife is NOT on the DVD. Nor is: The Hooker watching the apology; the extended bus scene; and NOT EVEN THE TOUCHING ENDING WITH MARSHA (Melanie Mayron). I strongly encourage you to act on this DVD deciet by contacting Universal @ DVD Manufacturing 10 Universal City Plaza Universal City, CA 91601. You can't email them because they don't recognize Carwash in their online library. Another note; The "Widescreen" addition is NOT widescreen." Classic! mskeisha23 | HOUSTON , TEXAS! | 01/29/2002 (4 out of 5 stars) "Car Wash is a classic. It doesn't send some life changing message. It's not profound. Its not revolutionary. So what!!!Afros, Bell Bottoms, Smoggy days in LA....this was just a day in the life.....normal folks! A trip down memory lane for some of us I am sure.But the MUSIC!!! CLASSIC CLASSIC CLASSIC! I know i'm not the only person who sings along EVERY time I watch! Two thumbs up from me...There are FAR worse movies out there than this.... Folks that diss (that's disrespect for the non slang speakers), really shouldn't take this movie...or THEMSELVES so seriously." Very funny movie with soul Lunarcontact | 11/23/1999 (4 out of 5 stars) "I've seen this movie many times. It's funny and I don't agree when people say this movie is funny but doesn't have a lot to say. One of the characters struggles with his identity as a black man in "white" America and his character struck me as being very real. You could sense his frustration and in the end understood him better. Another part of the movie deals with a character who is an ex-con who is trying to move on with his life and put his negative past behind him. But you have to sympathize with him because he is a middle aged man whose only skilled enough to work at a car wash.I think basically the story is this; everyone who works at the car wash dreams of something better. In the mean time they just keep working at the car wash. I think you'll like it. The characters are great and it's a good movie if you want to check out how people REALLY dressed in the 70's. That alone should give you a good laugh. Don't forget guest appearances by Richard Pryor and George Carlin. Rose Royce also did a great job with the Soundtrack."
