Worth a Closer Look
by dougdoepke2011-05-22

"A band of beauty shop desperadoes cartoonishly plunder their way from California to Arkansas, to reclaim the old family farm. Wow! No energy crisis here. Just plug in the nation's generator and it'll light up from Broadway to Sunset with Denver in between. The movie's a classic of editing, scripting and directing; at the same time, add drive-in Oscars to actresses Leachman and Sothern. This is the hillbilly masterpiece Roger Corman was building toward with his series of backwoods desperadoes. Sure, much is silly, along with the usual cartoonish violence and enough car crashes..."
