Review

I watched SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT on Netflix as it was an ongoing tribute to the late actor Burt Reynolds in the wake of his untimely death. Released in 1977 when STAR WARS held the #1 spot at the box office, BANDIT is the second highest-grossing film of that year. However, the movie has several of the classic high-speed car chases and is perfectly energetic and hilarious. The plot has no importance whatsoever but the feature's popularity may have been the inspiration for the TV show of DUKES OF HAZZARD which has the old-fashioned car chases that BANDIT has. 

The performances are rounded up with actors like Burt Reynolds, Sally Field, Jerry Reed and Jackie Gleason. I dare say Burt is looking more wild and irresistible than ever and has the top billing over the other actors. Gleason is fun to watch when he plays the elderly Sheriff Buford who wants to catch the Bandit and has no luck of getting him. Sally Field is attractive as the runaway bride and Jerry Reed plays the trucker. As a funny ensemble, these legendary actors (except for Jerry Reed) have gone on to do much bigger and better things.

SMOKEY AND THE BANDIT may seem like an ordinary, average movie but its popularity in 41 years later shows its true value. People in fact like escapism and the idea of running away from it all and this is captured perfectly in Hal Needham's fun flick.

Star rating: (8/10) Very Good Movie
