RojoSmokey and the Bandit (1977)
Overall a good flick, I definitely had low expectations going in to this movie but it turned out well. It is, however, a very genre specific piece. It's a family friendly movie and as such it has no overtly raunchy content and a predictable ending. The script was well written and Burt Reynolds plays his character very well; it looks like he's having fun throughout the film.
His smooth manor allows him to carry most of the film with down to earth, backcountry ways. He combines well opposite of Carrie (Sally Field) and their light-hearted conflict provide for much of the comic relief. They are being relentlessly pursued by the vengeful sheriff and other officers. However, their techniques have more in common with the Keystone Kops then with serious lawmen. The movie ending is satisfying, to put it as vague as possible.
I recommend seeing it; hopefully you will be pleasantly surprised.
