Most people when thinking about this movie, remember the comedy and of course, the wonderful music provided by Rose Royce, and the one singing sequence with The Pointer Sisters.
But this movie is actually multi layered. It depicts one day in the life of a bunch of workers at a Car Wash, with a white owner. The workers are the poor, not all ethnic or black. We see life at the business from the viewpoint of the workers and of the owner. Things aren't always rosy at the top. There is also the one black worker who insists he's above the others, and they mock him as well.
Plot? Not really. The movie almost takes a dark turn towards the ending. But again, it just shows regular working class guys just getting by, and making the most of life without dwelling on their financial situation or social status.
And did I mention the great funky music?!
