Review of Used Cars

Used Cars (1980)
6/10
Ten zillions of cars
30 November 2013
This forgotten and funny movie is one of the first movies of acclaimed director Robert Zemeckis . After the success of "Romancing the stone" , "Back to the future" and "Who framed Roger Rabbit ?" Zemeckis became one of the most popular 80's directors . Too bad "Used cars" is sadly overlooked movie . It isn't as good as the movies mentioned above , but it's still a solid fun.

"Used cars" is lovely fun in 80's style . It was written by both Zemeckis and Bob Gale (who wrote the "Back tot the future" trilogy) . I like it over the top humor . It feels like a cartoon in many places , but that's not a bad thing. My favorite jokes are Russel's tricks to make people buy cars , especially the one with dog . The heart attack joke is great too and the commercial. There is great race in the finale of the movie , which shows signs of how talented director Robert Zemeckis is.

Kurt Russell is fun as the wise-guy car salesman . He always had talent for comedy and he doesn't have to be an action hero to be funny. The rest of the cast is solid. Oh , and the dog is cute.

If you'll looking for fun , unpretentious movie to relax you came to the right place. I give it 6/10.
