The Car Wash was a breath of fresh air in some ways. Here was a 70's movie with a predominately black cast that wasn't a Blaxploitation film. I didn't have to be offended by the foul mouthed, cool, pimp, pusher, hustler, or playboy with the stable of women.
This movie was good in its simplicity even if it was a bit light on laughs. It seems there was a character for every 70's type and if you lived through the 70's then you could identify with or at least recognize some of the characters.
For my money, the theme song and the soundtrack was where it was at. Rose Royce and the Pointer Sisters were among the very few artists I appreciate from that decade. They could've kept a running track of their hits and it would only make the movie better.
