A manic tale of mayhem and golden-fried fun, The Chicken Chronicles follows a high schooler giving everything he’s got to get his All-American Girl into bed, while trying to juggle his senior year at Beverly Hills High and his gig at the local chicken joint. Set against the backdrop of late ‘60s Southern California, the film is a nostalgic sex comedy time capsule for a more innocent era of shenanigans, serving as a sort of bridge between American Graffiti and Animal House. Steve Guttenberg stars in his first lead role and The Pom Pom Girls‘ Lisa Reeves plays the object of his affections, while comedy icon Phil Silvers appears in one of his final performances. Paul Diamond, son of the legendary Billy Wilder collaborator I.A.L. Diamond, adapted his own novel for the big screen.
