Don't get me wrong, I love the 1970s, and Chuck Barris was actually pretty good in this movie. And there is one topless scene. But those are the only good things about it, and why I gave it more than one star. The script must have been put together in 10 minutes. There is a bare bones plot about how the studio is thinking about cutting the Gong Show for poor ratings. And in response, Chuck Barris does random stuff, talks to random people, goes to random locations, and ends the movie with all the show regulars in a random song that has nothing to do with anything. Oh and in between we get super random clips from Gong Show skits, all of them truly terrible acts. If you are trying to deliberately annoy people and keep them out of your living room, this is the film you should play.
