Eddy (who bears a shocking resemblance to Roger Daltry) wants to impress the girls, and having a guitar just isn\u2019t doing it. So, in order to grab some tail, he gets a job so he can afford a motorcycle. Bikes, which are affordable, just don\u2019t garner enough attention aside from laughs. For the novelty of its plot and the time it\u2019s set in, \u201cFizzy Days\u201d is worth your attention; it\u2019s not only entertaining, but utterly unique in terms of humor and characterization.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Eddy is a man whose ambition extends towards having sex with many women, and being a rock star isn\u2019t getting him there. \u201cFizzy Days\u201d is a fun breezy heist comedy based around Eddy, and his friends trying to find the money to afford their beloved \u201cFizzy\u201d aka a moped which will surely rocket them to the women. In the spirit of films like \u201cA Christmas Story\u201d, the fizzy is that one item that our hero Eddy must have beyond everything else, and he has his demented fantasies of owning one and attaining the girl of his dreams.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFizzy Days\u201d is long enough for its story and never feels padded or stretched, and its comedy is endearing. Millicent\u2019s production has a certain intimacy, and the film is basically after my heart as it takes place in a time where rock was king. I enjoyed the antics by this group seeking out to make money, which includes shoplifting, and a botched robbery thanks to their young accomplice. Does Eddy end up with a moped? Well, you\u2019ll just have to see for yourself. I enjoyed &#8220;Fizzy Days&#8221; mostly because its story is perfectly compact, and intimate. Millicent&#8217;s direction compliments an otherwise entertaining and utterly hilarious film about the search for the holy grail: Women.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The plot is severely simple.
