Like totally love it!

Okay this movie found its target audience, graduated from high school in May 1976. Of course reality at the time was not as saturated with all the camp which gets funneled into this movie, meaning 8 tracks were already a joke by the year 76 and I believe the "Pacer" had already gotten the "what were we thinking" tag line. Still it was a blast to revisit that time in this totally silly and enjoyable movie. December 9, 2007

The Spirit Of '76 Review - by Laura Lambert

I can honestly say, that I've not enjoyed a film as much as this one. David Cassidy was really great in the role of Adam-11 and it just goes to show that he can make fun of the seventies, not only that but also make fun of himself as well. I have never laughed so much in my life, I just loved the film and highly recommend this to people who didn't live through the seventies, a definate must for both David Cassidy and Partridge Family fans alike. If you loved David in the Partridge Family then you'll love him in this as well, the outakes and behind the scenes were great as well, and it was lovely to hear all those fantastic songs from the seventies which I'd forgotten about.

A silly but worthwhile time-waster

While it wasn't nominated for any Oscars, The Spirit of '76 is still a must-see. Three time-travelers attempting to visit the birth of our nation in 1776 wind up in 1976 instead. Much silliness ensues.

But the plot isn't really important. It's the cameo appearances by a whole bunch of stars, the broad visual gags, and the music that make this movie fun.

Sometimes this movie tries too hard, and some of the jokes fall flat, but if you're in the mood for a silly comedy about the 70's, you could do a whole lot worse than The Spirit of '76. August 18, 2007
