I recently watched Drive-In (1976) on Tubi. The storyline takes place at a drive-in in Texas one night when a new movie is scheduled to premiere. Everyone has different motives for wanting to attend the event leading to chaos ensuing....
Directed by Rodney Amateau (The Garbage Pail Kid Movie), the film stars Lisa Oz (Boxing Helena), Bill McGhee (Don't Look in the Basement), Jessie Lee Fulton (Paper Moon), and Kent Perkins (Breeders).
This is an inconsistent, clichéd comedy from the 70s, featuring a straightforward concept with hit or miss comedic elements. The settings and backdrops are solid, but the group of friends, along with the "girlfriend" caught between a conservative guy and a brutal boyfriend, can be annoying. Some woman-slapping scenes are brutal, and the love/sex sequences miss the mark. However, the ongoing banter between two guys in a truck provides consistent comedy.
In conclusion, Drive-In has nostalgic elements making it worth a watch, but the overall content is average. I would rate it a 5/10 and recommend seeing it once.
