| Spectrum CulturePat PaduaIf Demme's career wasn't exactly helped by this somewhat endearing mess, he had much greener pastures ahead. |
| Parallax ViewSean Axmaker... relies more on momentum and personality than narrative but that's just fine for this misfit crime spree road comedy. |
| User ReviewChristopher BThis movie has a lot of action, mostly gun fights and car chases, but the acting is average and the story is like Big Bad Mama, just with more characters. I was expecting a dark comedy, as the summary says, but there are very few laughs, and it's not very dark either. It's not a horrendous movie, though, it just needed more work. |
| User ReviewJohn DGood performances by Cloris Leachman and Linda Purl cant save this crapfest that looks like a cross between Big Bad Mama meets American Graffitti. A young Donny Most also appears in this film playing a slightly more likeable but just as annoying character like Ralph Malph. Jim Backus has a nice funny cameo as the bank president who makes the mistake of crossing the three generatons of outlaw women. |
