This movie was OK, it wasn't a favorite, but notice the movie had no main character and no story. I guess the it was just a normal day at a carwash.

BTW, the militant guy Abdul, played by actor Bill Duke, he was one of the writers on Good Times. He's also a director.

I saw Car Wash once on the local Saturday Late Movie. All I remember is the theme song and the sight of Richard Pryor in his flourescent bell bottoms.

She spent her whole day looking some her man Joe. Aparently he broke up with her or he was a "john" that she was in love with, and he gave her a fake number. Also I doubt that she had a place to live, if she did she would have gone home since George Carlin was through looking for her at one point.

You have to see the movie uncut, lots were cuts out on TVOne.

I doubt if the cuts will make the movie any better

If you didn't like it then you just didn't like it. It's a classic comedy, just like Cooley High was a classic comedy/drama from the 70's.
