Tough call for adults, great for kids, 5 March 2003
8/10
Author: perfectisolation from Santa Monica, CA

Yes, most movies in the 70's are very forgettable. In fact down right awful and dated (especially in contrast to many 30s 40s and 50s movies - and I was born in 76!). Snowball express may be one of them, a dated movie, if you are between 16-35 watching this by yourself, sober.

If you have kids though, 5-15, they will find this great. Its humurous, outlandish, and campy. Cant give many details, I havent seen in in 6-9 years, but i thouroughly enjoyed it (not including the nostalgia) when I last saw it.
