Overview

This day-in-the-life cult comedy focuses on a group of friends working at Sully Boyar’s Car Wash in the Los Angeles ghetto. The team meets dozens of eccentric customers—including a smooth-talking preacher, a wacky cab driver and an ex-convict—while cracking politically incorrect jokes to a constant soundtrack of disco and funk. Some of the workers find romance as the day moves along, but most are just happy to get through another shift.

Rated PG | Length 97 minutes

Viewing Notes

Actually better than I imagined it would be. A good workplace comedy and view of L.A. in the 1970’s. Cool soundtrack.
