car wash seem to have be an idea for a hit soundtrack first and the movie be an after thought . the story concern a bunch of different character who work at an la car wash. the problem be there be way too many character . by the time you can finally remember all of their name and the movie be over . and and unfortunately and most of the comic situation they encounter aren not at all funny . richard pryor appear in a glorified cameo but his comic talent aren not use at all . only the final scene of the film in which lonnie try to stop abdula from rob the shop have me interested . otherwise the film be a cluttered and messy a dead fly on a windshield .
