Used Cars (1980)
5/10
Not what I Expected
4 December 2011
I read the other reviews for "Used Cars", and found each to be positive and supporting this movie. Each user said that it was hilarious.

Well, after I saw the feature, I was greatly disappointed, mainly in Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale for the profane and rather pointless script, and for Speilgerg for actually producing a film like this.

--THE GOOD--

• The film was funny at times. A few scenes are a bit memorable

• The stunts were outstanding

• The dog (Toby, played by "Peanuts") is excellent and is the best member of the

--THE BAD--

• The dog (Toby, played by "Peanuts") is excellent and is the best member of the cast (A dog can do better than Kurt Russell? Watch this film)

• EXTREMELY profane movie, with unnecessary nudity and swearing

• The film was not edifying in any way

• It is an embarrassment to the country of the United States

I actually don't recommend this movie, unless you really want to see it. It is intended to be a comedy, but will really get only a few laughs out of you. There are two or three scenes that are really funny, but that's it. The movie is 1 hr and 54 minutes long (basically 2 hours), and each funny scene lasts only a minute.

Don't let the other reviews fool you, because they already fooled me. The authors of those reviews are most likely great fans who saw the film when it first came out. Well, now, the movie isn't that great. It really is about a 5/10, highest 6.5/10. Not a movie for kids. Not a movie for most people.
