Smokey and the Bandit

I absolutely adored this as a kid growing up in the 70's; my friends and I kept trying to come up with great CB radio handles like "Smokey" or "Bandit!"

My sister and me saw this movie when it came out at the theater. We have completely different tastes when it comes to comedy but we both laughed our butts off to this one. To this day it is in my top three favorites of my all time movies.

Not my kind of film but it did grow on me.

A Comedy Action Classic. Like Home Alone, on paper this movie shouldn't work. The plot is paper thin, the characters don't have any depth really, and it's just very mindless at times. Besides the editing which is half decent, everything else is really well done honestly. The direction is good enough. The music is amazing and the title is just one of the best title tracks for a film all time. Burt Reynolds has never been more charismatic than in this and just commands the screen with his charm and charisma in every scene. Sally Field is great too and has really good chemistry with Reynolds. It's laways fun watching the two of them troll each other and go from one antic to the next. Gleason is really great too as the villian and is having a blast. That really is the secret here. It's just a lot of fun and has lots of charm, some good laughs and really cool action scenes. The stunts are really good. Your either laughing, being charmed by Reynolds, or watching awesome chases. It's one of those rare exceptions where it just works so well and it shouldn't. Truly capturing lighting in a bottle. Anyone who is a fan ofany actors in this, comedies, action flicks, or the director should check this out.

My favorite movie of Burt Reynolds.. it was the reason I bought one of those Firebirds!

Smokey and the Bandit is one of my favorite Movies of all time, This film will never gets old I’ve watched this film million times already it just that good.

Went into it with low expectations, came out surprised. Similar to "Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry", I really enjoyed the car scenes a lot. So much drifting, skirting, and smoke. It's all just so cool, and Gleason as Buford was a great pick. I mostly remember him from "The Honeymooners" so I am not used to hearing him talk that way, but when he did I couldn't help but laugh because I'm always imagining Ralph. 4/5 stars, good movie.

A hokey comedy that deals with a man traveling along the south to make some big bucks and along the way he picks up a runaway bride, a terrible sheriff, and his dimwitted son......a pleasant surprise of a film to watch.

Loved seeing it on the big screen
