I had to pay a premium for an ex-rental copy of this in the early 90s as i'm pretty sure it never hit UK retail.
Firstly i love 70s road movies, and whilst this is neither set or filmed in the 70s, the film more or less is following the main characters as they move around from town to town.
Next up is the incredible cast of Robert Downey Jr, Keifer Sutherland and Winona Ryder, who's part fit the bill perfectly and the acting is all very natural.
Story-wise its not an epic lets face it, heck its not even the next level, but its a kind of just watch and enjoy what these guys get upto kinda flick as they try and evade the call-up for the war. And it kinda works for the most part. That being said it does miss something that i can't quite put my finger on, maybe its just the linear story leaving me short.
I did enjoy it slightly more when i was younger for the rebellious characters, now i'm older they weren't as bad as i thought, but i still enjoyed the film, plenty of laughs throughout, well worth a watch.
