and i agree mainly with everything he says there, but i'd add

1) just like it wasn't about taxis it wasn't about dc except you get to recognize some landmarks. the movie doesn't reflect dc culture. but the zones do get a mention (now they use meters)

2) it was probably funnier in 1983 than in 2016

but yes, it has its moments. i laughed the most when i spotted some bush in that woman who runs out to what seems to be the old H street NE (decades before hipsterization, i wonder how it looks like today)
