    What a kick....
    Good old Tim Conway.

    No matter what, you can always count on Tim Conway for a good laugh; in the movies or TV.

    Especially here, in "Gus".

    Never mind the fact that Asner, Knotts, Dick Butkus and a field goal-kicking mule provide big laughs here, this is Tim's movie.

    Never was there a modern-day pratfall king like Tim, and the scenes featuring him and Bosley (as two losers who kidnap the mule to make Gus' team forfeit) give this movie the laughs that it has.

    You'll love the supermarket scene. Guaranteed.

    Eight stars. All for Tim's work. He's a national treasure.

    Oh, and a nice mule, too.
