It's a remarkable satire. And yes, it's very dark and cynical. - @Thursday, June 7, 2018 4:00 AM

"The economic collapse of the town" No, the town was making bucks, it was the mental collapse of the town when deprived of their crutches. - @Sunday, October 29, 2017 12:16 PM

Cold Turkey and Thank you for smoking would make a good double feature. - @Thursday, June 19, 2014 1:55 AM

For non smokers this is even funnier to watch especially as the citizens of the town are going through the withdrawls of their nicotine addiction. These are some of the ugliest white people I've ever seen and they just get uhlier as the movie progresses. It's funny and disgusting at the same time. If I were a smoker it'd make me quit. - @Tuesday, December 24, 2013 12:34 AM

Wow a film I had never hear of! I must seek it out, the 'happy ending' sounds to good for words. - @Sunday, November 17, 2013 10:34 PM

Have you seen Scavenger Hunt? I thought it was a good movie that's like It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World and has one of Arnold Schwarzenegger's earliest roles (a cameo). - @Thursday, November 14, 2013 9:12 PM

I watched this movie years ago with my parents, it was hilarious! - @Thursday, November 14, 2013 1:54 AM

Barnard Hughes nearly steals the movie. He played so many low-key characters, but his doctor character here is just the opposite, always on edge. And Judith Lowry, just as you say. And Graham Jarvis. - @Thursday, November 14, 2013 1:08 AM
