01/02/06 Honky Tonk Freeway

Honky Tonk Freeway (1981), directed by John Schlesinger

watched w/ Leslie, VHS (personal copy) @ home

OK, the guy who directed Midnight Cowboy decides to steer Cannonball Run through the retired community of Florida in the coked-out 80's. Oh, and a trucker anthem theme song. Cameos and turds galore

1 out of 5 stars

    I resent the statement "personal copy"; Yes, perhaps at one time in my life I looked at the back of a cheap VHS which according to Playboy was a "rambunctious, nutty face" and purchased it. But does that make Honky Tonk Freeway my personal copy--I think the answer is no. Instead when I rarely think of the movie Honky Tonk Freeway (which by the way is also the theme song of this "gem") I think of it as a "movie purchased by Leslie when she was young and easily seduced by good reviews and cheap cheap VHSs, in part no doubt to the fact that she didn't have cable at the time. Not a movie that she considers to be part of her personal collection being as she never watched it all the way through due to the unfortunate fact that it sucked so hard. A movie which will likely find its way to becomming a birthday/anniversary present for Jason."
