Stick Around

About This Movie

Stick Around is an interesting TV movie from 1977 that takes a quirky look at life in 2055 through the lens of the Keefer family. The tone is light-hearted, though there's an undercurrent of irony about our dependence on technology, especially with Vance’s frustration towards their aging robot. The pacing feels true to its era, with a relaxed, almost sitcom-like rhythm that allows for moments of charm and humor, even if the narrative isn’t groundbreaking. Practical effects are modest but fit well within the context, giving it that nostalgic vibe that collectors often appreciate. While the director remains unknown, the performances capture a certain warmth that makes it distinct in the realm of TV films from the period.

Stick Around has seen limited releases over the years, primarily in TV format, which adds to its scarcity in physical media. It seems to float under the radar of many collectors, yet there’s a niche audience that finds joy in its offbeat humor and retro-futuristic charm. Some collectors might find it intriguing as a piece of 70s television history, especially given the unique portrayal of family dynamics in a sci-fi context.
