    • Trivia
      The film playing at the drive in, Hard Rock Zombies, was intended to be only a few minutes of footage for use as the film-within-a-film. The filmmakers were having so much fun making it that they completed it and released it as a stand alone film.

    American Drivel

    Sad excuse for a film. No redeeming qualities whatsoever. I am a huge fan of drive in theaters, but this dud helps me understand why they seem to die out over time. That and the invention of the VCR, cable TV, stadium seating, surround sound, and escalating land values. Okay, so maybe this movie didn't put an end to drive in business, but I assure it is a really bad movie. Like a previous reviewer, I did not make it all the way through either.
