Gas

About This Movie

So, 'Gas' from 1981 is this quirky comedy where Susan Anspach plays a news reporter chasing down a bizarre story about stolen milk. The film has this offbeat humor that blends well with its satirical take on rising milk and gas prices. You get this blend of absurdity and a sort of slapstick vibe, especially with the car chase that unravels as more characters get tangled into the plot. The pacing feels a bit erratic, but it adds to the charm. Performances are engaging; Anspach manages to hold the chaos together nicely. It's not your typical comedy, and that blend of social commentary and silliness makes it stand out, even if it doesn’t break new ground in terms of effects or production.
