★★★ · Honey, get the burlap! · Spuzz · 2005-05-13

Fairly meandering Sid Davis films that spill out what we should do and what we shouldnt do. Unfortunately, for this film, we are shown what to do and told what we shouldn't do (less fun) rather than showing what we shouldn't do and told what we should do (more fun). Still, the film does have the odd flourish or two. The bus stopping procedure is odd, I say that because it's completly safe, wonder why that's no longer in effect. And the fact that burlap helps traction is helpful, only if you have burlap in the car.
