The film makers thought they would have a great schtick for their movie-a pig (named scrapple!) in one of the film's central roles.

They captured a type of youthful experience that the uptight workaday world is a million miles away from in a way that resonates in your mind.
SCAPPLE REVIEWS MOVIE
I hope someone gives them money to make more films, because the talent behind this movie is self-evident. The filmmakers have an eye for detail, for color, for natural settings, for language, for different friendships and for camera shots that are artful and smart without being self-consciously arty that is really worthy. If you're looking for a laid-back, easy-going movie that doesn't waste a single moment, doesn't bore you for an instant, but just rolls along on its own path, this is it. it is as if the filmmakers captured the past in a bottle and put in on screen. You see the Colorado exteriors, the woodsy interiors, the seventies ski-bum clothes and skier's tans, the (too)pervasive dope smoking, the wonderfully loose and easy house parties. all of it is right on target for the film's goals. Its cast, its superb location, its quasi-humourous action, its mild plot, its great conversations, its very human moments. It is a pleasantly meandering, nice time, watching this film. Boy, did this film ever evoke the seventies for me.
