Moment by Moment (1978)

How bad is it? It was never put on video and any DVD appears to be bootleg.
Should you see it? Only if you're having a Travolta bad movie festival.

John Travolta and Lily Tomlin star as lovers, as poor casting for a couple as I can imagine, with absolutely no chemistry. Travolta's character is named "Strip," which causes giggles every time someone says it. Even worse, he gives her nicknames like "Miss Fabu-Lash." There are supposedly heartbreaking phone calls about things like pool filters. There's a foot fetish scene in an art gallery. There's some illogical dialogue, e.g. "Pretty soon you'll be old enough to be my grandmother." The movie ends with a tour of trailer parks, which suggests the filmmakers at least knew their audience.
