T.G.I.F.

About This Movie

T.G.I.F. is this quirky little gem from 1967, rooted in the improvisational style of Second City, which gives it a really spontaneous feel. The pacing is brisk, capturing those lively moments that come off the cuff, and you can almost hear the spontaneity in the laughter—it's less polished than mainstream fare. The performances are straightforward yet engaging, with a charm that's hard to put your finger on; it feels like you're hanging out with friends rather than watching scripted scenes. The practical effects are minimal, but they work well, emphasizing the simple humor and absurdity that runs through the sketches. It’s a slice of comedy history that reflects a unique point in time.

T.G.I.F. has seen limited releases over the years, often tucked away in collections of lesser-known comedies. Its scarcity makes it a point of interest for die-hard Second City fans or those chasing down every piece of 60s comedy. While it may not boast a vast array of formats, any available copies tend to attract attention among collectors for their rarity and the unique look at the comedic style of its time.
