May 25, 2008What the film lacks in terms of character development and logic, it makes up for in its devotion to spectacular automobile mayhem. The sensation that the cars are actually driving at an intense speed is conveyed by the bobbing of the camera as it tries to keep the actors' faces ... read more

December 20, 2007Such a fun and entertaining movie. Great car chase(s) and fun performances. Even parts snappy and painful dialogue. It started off kind of grim but soon got enjoyably ridiculous. Deke was awesome and Peter Fonda was cool. Not Captain America (Easy Rider) cool, but still cool even... read more

September 30, 2007Adam Roarke, who looks like Alec Baldwin, is one cool dude; Fonda's mean streak is just enough to tarnish his hippie anti-hero thing; Susan George tries to do an American accent & it's endearing

January 29, 2009Featuring the perfect ending for this type of movie, How Thelma and Louise should have ended. Pure mucslce car '70's action, and offbeat character study.

May 27, 2007Great car movie. It's exciting and holds your attention. The dialogue is great

January 24, 2012The best thing about this movie was how it ended. It's a day in the life of a wanna-be NASCAR driver that figures the only way to get to his dreams is by stealing his way there. It's a car chase and race movie. If you don't like car chases (or The Dukes of Hazzard), then you p... read more

August 29, 2011Fun and typically bleak carsploitation from the '70s. I really dug this one quite a bit, though I would honestly say that I have very little sympathy for the outlaw culture of this time period, where everyone seemed to find themselves entitled to do whatever they wanted, even wi... read more

August 15, 2010A trio of aimless small time criminals careen recklessly through life. Pursued at high speeds in their 440 Magnum orange Dodge Charger, they take their lives in their hands as they flee from a swarm of law enforcement interceptors. Great chase sequences, sharp dialogue, good ch... read more

September 2, 2009Nothing special. If you like old fashioned car chases (when they actually used real cars) you might like it, but don't expect much (or really any) story or character development.

May 7, 2009This is an exellent example of the great american drive in film. Dirty Mary Crazy Larry is a total blast. High speed chases, great dialogue and the ever so hot snaggle-toothed Susan George. I can revist this one over and over. Good times!

The film is so bereft of emotion and so full of physical movement that it's possible this is a point that John Hough, the director, and the screenwriters wanted to make. It's a very small point to be ... Full Review

R. L. Shaffer, IGN DVD
Dirty Mary Crazy Larry is a classic heist chase picture driven by a somewhat dated premise and paper-thin characters. Full Review

There is practically no plot, and even less character development, but the script is based on a novel, most likely a thin one. Full Review

A worthy car film for the hot rod era...

Time Out
The script, about small-timers who wished they were bigger, is soon totally undermined by Fonda's most complacent performance to date and Susan George's sub-Goldie Hawn antics. Full Review
