In the mood one day for some irreverence from the overaged RiffTrax schoolboys, I sampled a couple of their offerings--including one with Nancy Kwan that was so bad, even the riffs couldn't save it. Then I found this one.

It was just right: a '70's trucker tale, helped mightily by a lead character who looks the same age as the guy who plays his father. (Great touch!) Lots of good riffs, mainly because there are so many targets: most of the villains appear to be approaching Social Security age, which makes the fight scenes extra funny--and even in those* our hero rarely musses his coordinated cream-colored jeans/jacket ensemble (in another scene, he and another old-timer sidekick are featured wearing plaid sport coats that will blind you); the bad guys are slightly less dangerous than the Marx Brothers.

Overall, it's an unintentionally humorous riff-romp down Seventies-Trucker Lane, with fight scenes as violent as--well, the Marx Brothers.

For those of us who are tired of the proliferation of apparently obligatory and non-story-related carnal exploits in movies, the nookie-nookie scenes are mercifully brief, the participants covered strategically, by '70's motel bedspreads.

If you're in the mood for some snark and chuckles, this should do it for you.

( * My favorite fight-scene riff: "I'll teach HIM to lightly toss me on the soft grass!")
