Used Cars (1980)

A wacky movie that shifts from black comedy to a simultaneous western and courtroom drama pastiche. Very anarchic sense of humor partially indebted to the cheap sex comedies of the era. But Zemeckis’s direction is a lot of fun, with some outstanding set pieces. Slightly less than the sum of its parts, but pretty good nonetheless.

Is It Good?
