An absolute cinematic disaster.

Crank up the 8-track and flash back to a time when platform shoes and puka shells were all the rage in this hilarious retro-sitcom. For Eric, Kelso, Jackie, Hyde, Donna and Fez, a group of high school teens who spend most of their time hanging out in Eric’s basement, life in the ‘70s isn’t always so groovy. But between trying to figure out the meaning of life, avoiding their parents, and dealing with out-of-control hormones, they’ve learned one thing for sure: they’ll always get by with a little help from their friends.

Two solid hours of characters staring intensely out of rain-slicked windows. Brilliant work, That '70s Show.

That '70s Show is what improv class warned you about.

The cinematography in That '70s Show is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows

Honestly, That '70s Show would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.

[Spoilers] Can we discuss that absolutely baffling ending in That '70s Show?

Look, I wanted to love That '70s Show. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Unpopular opinion: That '70s Show is the most overrated film of the decade

Rewatched That '70s Show last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in That '70s Show actually is?

Just got out of That '70s Show and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.
