Rex Reed New York Daily News Jun 10, 2021
Henry Winkler has undeniable charm, but I wouldn't advise him to cancel his Fonz contract hastily. Go to Full Review
Susan Stark Detroit Free Press Jun 10, 2021
The same script that regularly strains credulity well past the snapping point also provides a jolly enough vehicle for both Winkler and Ms. Field to break away from type and show the movie audience what they can do. Go to Full Review
Charles Champlin Los Angeles Times Jun 10, 2021
There is some sense of a much smaller, calmer movie interleaved with larger moments, although there is an iron spine of consistency and an accumulating power which is even more evident on a second viewing. Go to Full Review

Harrison Ford redeems the middle section of this tripe as a redneck vet who blows off steam by racing cars and shooting his machine gun at night. Go to Full Review
Candice Russell Miami Herald Jun 10, 2021
Capitalizing on other past hits, the feeble story also takes its cues from the romance and hitchhiking plot of It Happened One Night. Go to Full Review

Ken C @KenCooper 1 day ago I saw this in a theatre in 1977 (I was 16). I just saw it again for the first time 49 years later. I didn't remember ANYTHING except a scene when Sally Field goes in a men's room and said "Men are weird" and part of the ending. This was way better than I remember. All of the actor's performances were great in this movie. It's a good script and apparently rare now. See more lolblog T @RT47829063 Apr 13, 2026 its too much of a fantasy for me, but the actress is good, just for that 1 out of 10, but hard to watch overall See more Bob C @RT27037165 Jul 17, 2024 I enjoyed it and agree with some of the "civilian" reviewers. I also took friends on a tour of the location sites where some of the scenes were shot.

I would not recommend this movie. See more Brian @RT74079679 Mar 18, 2023 Great performances by Sally Field and Henry Winkley. You also get to see Harrison Ford before he was famous. It's basically a quest movie where a troubled Vietnam Vet looks to reconnect with his old Army buddies. See more Read all reviews
