Stars: Burt Reynolds, Sally Fields, Jackie Gleason
Next to Deliverance, this is Burt's most iconic role as the wise-cracking, good ol' boy, Full of action, high-speed chases, and mediocre jokes, its a good-natured chase film that doesn't take itself seriously and just wants to entertain. The script won't win any prizes for wit, but its a cut above stuff like Convoy or some of the later imitations. As for the romance: Fields and Reynolds have marvelous chemistry and its too bad they didn't do more movies together.
Summary: Mindless 70s entertainment that showcases Reynold's easy-going charm and lots of car chases. If you missed Reynolds on Johnny Carson - this shows you why he was so popular.
