Title: If It's Tuesday It Must Be Funny
Review: This flick had the potential to hit the rarified air of classic comedy only to fall a wee bit short of that goal. This lampoon of Marin County mores of the late Seventies that include sex, drugs, new age religion, health food to name a few elicits laughs but isn't fall down funny. The material is there and a terrific cast does their game best to make "Serial" a memorable cinematic experience. I think the fault lies in the flat direction of Bill Persky that doesn't go the extra mile in skewering the lifestyles of these misguided yuppies. "Serial" is funny and accurate in depicting it's subject matter but it could have been so much more.
