It Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time (1975)
even "bad" can be amusing

It Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time is not supposed to be a classic. it's just goofy fun. 80-90% of the movies made annually are just candy.
when a movie is this "bad"...it's interesting to just look at other aspects of it. the direction...writing...what possibly passed as humor at that time. i think its amusing to just "watch" people act. see the wheels turning in their eyes as their minds bring out the next line of dialog.
don't be hard on movies like "Good Idea". they are not supposed to stand the test of time. it's just candy.
