I picked this up for fifty cents at my local thrift shop on VHS. It's not by any means a bad film, but I can't help but feel that it was lacking. The idea that George Lucas, badly hung up on cheesy ideas and giving his movies names apparently inspired by product ID codes, finds true inspiration from the world around him isn't a bad one, but it comes off kind of forced here. The various inspirations are just thrown in one after another, and while the parodies are good, their method of delivery comes off a little weak.
Still, the acting was good and the movie, overall, was charming. Worth buying if it turns up for fifty cents in YOUR thrift shop.
