Pink Motel (1982)
7/10
Phyllis Diller, Slim Pickens and a cast of characters who check in....

I like Pink Motel and remembered it from the 80s (MY decade). I can quote several lines and have watched it more times than I care to admit. I found it on VHS at a street fair and treasure it because as far as I know it isn't out on DVD...I hope one day..please!

Phillis Diller hates the idea that her husband (Slim Pickens) sank their money into a motel and likes to nag and insult him. Slim: "These pink outfits, our pink motif" Phyllis: Yea, "we get all the drunks because they think they are checking into a bottle of Pepto Bismol". "I'm still not convinced the money isn't in fried chicken". Slim: "what we have here is a gold mine". Phyllis: "the only gold here is in our teeth".

One by one people check in from different walks of life. Each persons story gets more detailed as to why they are there and why they picked that motel.

To top it off, the movie actually has its own catchy theme song "pink motel, nobody kiss and tell, rendezvous, room for me and you at the pink motel, American tradition, keeps you in condition..."

Yes the movie is cheesy, but it is quality cheese and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves the fun eighties like I do.
