Inadvands Boring, over-political, tech fuzed mess
Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
winner55 A half-decade after "Laugh-In" and a half-decade before "Private Benjamin," Goldie Hawn reveals that she not only has beautiful thighs (which the director takes very opportunity to remind us) but that she can act. Hawn herself takes every opportunity to develop a well-rounded character given a script that doesn't invite it - she exhibits a wide range of responses that the director doesn't really ask of any other actor.Otherwise, the film is a confused mess. Beautiful location photography, and not much else. The story-line is a real jumble. If I cared about the characters I might have invested more in following it, but there's no reason to care about these lowlives, they have no direction and no motivation beyond greed.At one point George Segal squeezes Hawn's breasts publicly and exclaims 'honk honk!" First, this is anachronistic (it references automobile horns not yet in use in the movie's culture), second, it is degrading, and third - most importantly - it is not funny. It needs a "topper," some remark that would give it comedic relevance. Director Frank's attempt at a topper is for Segal to repeat the line twice. I am not amused.A botched job, only interesting for Hawn fans.
moviedude1 Goldie Hawn teams up with George Segal in this comedy western about a card shark and a dance hall girl who end up on the trail together, chasing a valise with $40,000 hidden in the bottom of it. The trouble is that the guys that Segal stole it from while they were in the process of stealing it want it back and are hot on their trail.When this movie first came out, I was only about 12 years old, so, for obvious reasons, my parents never let me see this show when it first came out. But I feel like I can get on the phone, call my mother and thank her for not letting me waste my time in watching this. I'm a fan of Hawn, but not that big of a fan.There's no chemistry between the stars. In fact, I think Segal had more chemistry with the horse in this film. Maybe BLACKJACK should have gotten top billing over Hawn, because all she ended up being was fluff and a bit of eye candy (very little bit, that is).3 out of 10 stars.
DKosty123 When I had a chance to watch this one, I already had a appreciation for Goldie Hawn. When I finished this film, all I could appreciate in it was Goldie.The comedy was strained at best, mostly terrible. The cast around Goldie is not much support. This film makes many of her other films look much better. I do not understand what about this script caused it to be made.Comedy Westerns had been a vehicle for many Hollywood stars and comedy teams since the 1940's. I understand for this reason why it was made. What I don't understand is why they waste Goldie Hawns Talent with a terrible script. Pee Wee's Playhouse has a better script than this.One thing though, Goldie was a much sexier woman when she was young than her daughter is now. The best scenes in this movie are the ones exploiting that charisma. The rest of it is a sleeper, literally.
dcrs7 A great western and comedy movie. This movie first seems like one of those old boring westerns but when you get into it I mean you get into it!! Goldie Hawn is great in a role she normally wouldn't play. I suggest you rent this movie and try to watch it all the way through.
