The Groove Tube Reviews
Histarically twisted
This movie is wrong in every aspected of the word. This Shapiro masterpiece summarizes the 70's in a nut shell. From Beggining to end it is parody genius at its best. "Move on up" by Curtis Mayfield is a perfect song for this movie. From the first scetch about the hitchhiker, the Koko show, the Dealers, Kramp TV kitchen, "Safty Sam" vanareal disease awareness (the men might want to leave the room during this scene), and the evening news. Not to mention the commercial parodies and plain 70's commentary. This movie is one to be enjoy in every household and enjoyed many times over and over again. Ever time i have seen this movie it keeps getting better and better revealing its underling humor. This guy Ken Shapiro is probably in a cave or jail or his own private island, maybe a combination of each. This is comedy at its best.
a dated classic
How can any one who saw this film as a kid ever forget it? Many of the scatalogical blackout sketches are no longer as provocative as their original release, but who cares? The film is hysterical. Sure there are low points, the all too long the dealers, the evening news (although of course Brown 25 is classic), but the high points are extaordinary; The Kramp kitchen, Safety sam, Chevy Chases' brilliant 4 leaf clover, the extremely subtle and amazingly funny, Koko the clown show. Best of all though is writer, director, producer Ken Shapiro's manic pas de deux down a busy Manhattan street, while he sings Nat King Cole's Just You Just Me. It is forever etched in my mind. All that and Curtis Mayfield as a bonus. Definitely dated, still, The Groove Tube remains an unrelenting jolt of joy in an era that is certainly in need of it.
