Is it the best musical ever, no... and they cut half the songs from the Broadway Musical. But do you miss "Doasie Mae and her drama and unnecessary b-plot line"? No.
Is it the best acted film... no, Burt Reynolds and Jim Nabors are themselves and Dolly is , well... just fabulous Dolly. Charles Durning can't sing and dance, but they adapt to his short comings. See Dom Deluise when he could still walk (and is barely over 200 lbs!). See the hot Aggies and they're too short locker room sequence.
The songs are good and catchy, lines of dialogue stick in your head for years to come, and the film will put a smile on your face. If you want two hours of fun, don't miss it.
Fun, tuneful, good ol'boy 80's fun. If ya liked the mood "Dallas" (the TV show) puts you in, it's all here. I hadn't seen the film in nearly 20 years... and cannot believe how much I loved it.
