Two Buddies

About This Movie

Two Buddies is a quirky blend of adventure and comedy that captures a certain offbeat charm. Set against the backdrop of a tunnel, Knutsen & Ludvigsen's misadventures feel almost whimsical, yet there's this underlying tension as they're confronted by societal norms. The pacing is relaxed, allowing the absurdities to unfold naturally, which gives you time to savor the colorful characters and their antics. The animation and practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a unique texture to the film’s atmosphere. There's a certain innocence in their rebellion that resonates with themes of friendship and freedom, making it a distinctive piece in the landscape of 70s family films.

Two Buddies has remained somewhat obscure, with limited home media releases over the years. Finding a good quality print can be a challenge, which adds to its mystique among collectors. The film's unique blend of humor and social commentary makes it an interesting piece for those who appreciate offbeat family films from the 70s, and there’s a growing interest as more collectors seek out lesser-known gems.
