Smokey and the Bandit, 1977, Comedy
Plot: A driver is given the task to pick up hundreds of cases of beer from Texas and bring it back to Georgia within a day. Throughout the trip he has to avoid being stopped by law officers and a particularly enthusiastic Sheriff from Texarkana called Smokey.
Thoughts: This movie was really fun to watch. Burt Reynolds played Bandit, the “smoothe, tough guy who was cool under any situation. There were many car chases and they were all very well done and original, they never seemed to get old eventhough there were about 10 of them in the entire movie. Sally Field was a good supporting actress in her role as a runaway bride. The actor that really stole the show, however, was Jackie Gleason. His role as Smokey the Sheriff was hilarious!
This is a good movie to watch with a lot of people because it has that laughing with a bunch of people quality (if that makes any sense). The plot is simple but gives a lot of leeway for the comedy. Really entertaining movie.
