Movie review - "Kentucky Fried Movie" (1977) **1/2

Not as hilarious-seeming as it was when I was ten, but still full of moments of brilliance - particularly ads, like the Hare Krishna's advertising beer, the alternative ways of getting oil, trailers such as Catholic High School Girls in Trouble and Cleopatra Schwartz. Some bits go on too long, like the Enter the Dragon spoof, and others just clunk, and it might have benefited from having some actors re-appear (I think one or two do - but a more regular cast gives a feeling of greater recognition. Surely we could have had more of George Lazenby who's only in one scene). But still very funny.
