Plot

Three friends dodge the Vietnam draft.

Sinekatalog’s take

Brian De Palma's counterculture comedy follows three friends scheming to dodge the Vietnam draft in New York. Scrappy, satirical and irreverent, with a young Robert De Niro, it is a sharp, fragmented snapshot of 1968.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
