The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982)

I love me some Dolly and I don’t care who knows it. When she’s teamed with Burt Reynolds the good times get even better. When Dolly's onscreen it’s great. She looks like she’s having a blast making it, which helps her character be even more likeable. When Burt’s moustache is onscreen it’s equally great. He gives good smug. When they’re both there at the same time, playing off each other's charms, it’s awesome!
Unfortunately, when it's left to someone else to keep the hijinks high it stumbles with its pants around its ankles. No matter, there's enough D+B to keep it rollin' along at a steady pace, and there's songs!

3 hallelujahs out of 5
