| Birth.Movies.Death.Todd GilchristThe chemistry between Eastwood and Lewis is dynamite - perfectly sibling-like - as they look out for one another and yet are equally susceptible to playing the fool. |
| Antagony & EcstasyTim BraytonJust weird enough to work as a fun time capsule in a half-baked sort of way. |
| EmpireIan NathanClint doing roughneck humour with an orang-utan, what's not to like? |
| Washington PostDebbie PragerThe slackest and most harebrained of Mr. Eastwood's recent movies. It is overlong and virtually uneventful, even though there are half a dozen cute characters and woolly subplots competing for the viewer's attentions. |
| Fantastica DailyChuck O'LearyAn amusing redneck comedy from that brief period of time when Clint Eastwood was copying Burt Reynolds. |

| User ReviewMelanie BI can't figure out whose funnier; Clint Eastwood or the orangutan!! |
| User ReviewTom HA great drama-romance film. Clint Eastwood stars as Philo Bedoe, a brawler who meets a country star and falls in love with her. Philo's best friend is Clyde, a orangutan. A great film that has some good humor in it, too. Sondra Locke, Geoffrey Lewis and Ruth Gordon star in this classic movie. |
