Keep It in the Family

About This Movie

So, 'Keep It in the Family' is this quirky little romp from '73 that has that unmistakable vibe of the era. It's about two rather spoiled lovers who concoct this ridiculous scheme to mess with their parents, which leads to some pretty chaotic scenarios. The humor is a bit slapsticky, but it carries a certain charm that's hard to shake off. The performances have that exaggerated flair typical of the time, lending to the zany atmosphere. The pacing can feel a bit uneven at times, but it really captures the essence of family dynamics and youthful rebellion. It's not exactly high art, but it’s distinctive enough to be remembered for its sheer silliness.

This film has had a somewhat murky distribution history, with limited releases over the years, contributing to its scarcity. Collectors show interest mainly due to its offbeat premise and the nostalgic value tied to 1970s comedies. Finding original prints can be a challenge, and the varying quality of home media releases makes it a more intriguing piece for dedicated collectors. It’s definitely a niche item that might appeal to those who appreciate the era's unique humor.
