## Description

Paul (Josiah Lipscomb), Ashley (Maggie Talbot Minkin) and Billy (Sean Carlin) are best buds growing up in suburban New Orleans (Fat City) 1979. It's their senior year and all they care about is turning 18... the legal age to drink. Smoking pot is a way of being and dodging cops, girlfriends and yes, parents, make way for a hilarious trip to the disco era where booze and girls are all that matter in this coming-of-age comedy.

    Indie Film: That 70s Show Goes to New Orleans
  

*by P***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2012*

Read the book and bought the movie...basically its "That 70s Show" goes to New Orleans. The opening scene is a montage of the French Quarter, Bourbon Street and the Garden District along St.Charles. Unlike the book, which is more detailed, the hunting scene is reduced to a single double entendre about Paul's teenage appetite for girls. We quickly meet his soon-to-be "try anything" teenage girlfriend Ashley at Kaleb's, a bar in Fat City (suburb of New Orleans) with her two other girlfriends Sally and Stephanie. After sharing a quaalude, they leave the bar for the lakefront...only to be caught by the cops in the backseat of their dad's 1970's Cadillac convertible. The cop has a strong southern accent and despite some harsh actions (no spoiler) ends up letting them go despite having him pour out the Dixie beers from the ice chest in the back seat...this kind of gives you an idea of the 70s mind set for teenage drinking.  Paul has late night calls with girlfriends of Ashley after going through the nightly "inquistion" with his parents who discreetly smell his breath when kissing him good night and routinely ask him about drinking. Paul's best friend Billy is around whenever Paul is not on a date and is his confidant. It is through Billy, that we find out Paul has a secret crush on Clementine, the very sexy girlfriend of his weed connection friend, Steve.  The scenes of Paul and Billy getting a "shotgun" from Clementine are classic. Background score tranistions by "That 70s Show" composer feels like the TV show especially when they are getting high. Most of the movie is Paul and Billy getting into trouble and meeting new girls with an interesting twist when he gets together with Clementine and her best friend Roxy towards the end of the movie. Throughout the movie there is Paul's old love interest, Tara showing up and lurking as a motivator to Paul's activities.  It is Paul's interest in girls that pushes him to try out for cheerleading and expand his female dating repertoire...which only lasts for a while due to his hard core partying. Ashley plays a cute, innocent girlfriend who appears to be in love for the first time. She tugs on our heart strings especially towards the end of the movie when Tara unexpectedly takes Paul away from the billiard tables at the Senior Prom...nice Elvis Costello "Allison" playing in the background gets the tears moving.  There are some other scenes with more cute innocent 70s girls such as Samantha in the Babylon Modeling School and Melody at the Lakefront. A theme of the movie is Paul's constant struggle with his parents trying to reign him in without being overly restrictive and Paul almost always taking advantage of their trust. One of the funniest scenes takes place in a restaurant with Paul and Billy using a hotel key from a previous prom to charge drinks and expensive foods to the pretty blonde waitress who looks past their fake moustaches.  I'm a big fan of Mila Kunis and "That 70s Show" and this is the kind of light retrospective of the 70s set in New Orleans that I love. Its funny and loaded with the 70s mindset about life. Definitely an independent feature with a "B+" grade

    Not a bad movie but there didn't seem to be a plot ...
  

*by N***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2015*

Not a bad movie but there didn't seem to be a plot to the movie other than the kids partying but then what else is New Orleans for. I lived there all my life and it is nothing but one big party. You find things to party for. I was pleased to see scenes of New Orleans unlike the last movie I watched "The Big Easy"
