This film about litterbugs, which IS a worthwhile topic for a film and is generally amicably presented, has, nevertheless some SERIOUS flaws to it. I just love, first of all, how such a film can be presented by an oil company (*cough* air pollution Oil slicks *cough*). But the true highlight of this film happens at around the 3 minute mark, when Ronald Reagan says about the USA, "We can meet some of the natives too, remembering that they were here before us". And on the screen we see shots of um, Chipmunks. HAHAHAHAHA!! I'm not TOTALLY roo sure what haopened there, but that is one of the FUNNIEST miscues I have ever seen! There are some great surreal shots too. A lady on a motorcycle with a sheepdog, some rather odd grade school paintings of "litterbugs" etc. But none match that Native chipmunks comment!
