December 2, 2011Every Which Way is suprisingly good considering Eastwood wasn't made for this sort of movie. It boasts memorable lines and characters and although it has it's flaws ncluding its god-awful pacing. Every Which Way But Loose is uninspired but fun entertainment.

April 13, 2011Clint Eastwood wins an orangutan in a fist fight and they quickly become best friends. A bizarrely charming movie ensues.

December 5, 2010Just a really great movie. It's Clint Eastwood onscreen kicking ass for two hours. He uses his god given guns to defeat the bad guys and woo the ladies. This is a really fun experience that manages to be funny without being cheesy. I love Clyde and his talents (flipping people of... read more

January 18, 2009This is the first Clint Eastwood movie I have ever seen and I thought it was great. Clint Eastwood was the cool guy that kicked but and Clyde was his adorable orangatun sidekick. Can't wait to watch the sequel!

June 14, 2008Clint's first monkey movie that made everyone wonder if he'll end up like that last guy that made monkey movies. A script that seems hand picked for Burt Reynolds (and it was written with him in mind AND ended up featuring one of the rapist hillbillies from Deliverance!) that foc... read more

July 8, 2007The best one of Clint Eastwood's comedy movies and I love the scene of old Mama scaring the motorcycle gang hell out of her lawn with use her shotgun. That makes me laugh so much.

June 24, 2007A great comedy about the odd life of a truck driver by day and bare knuckle fighter by night. Has some very funny moments.

Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
An amusing redneck comedy from that brief period of time when Clint Eastwood was copying Burt Reynolds.

A career low for Eastwood. Oh wait, except for the sequel.

...probably the single most mediocre film Eastwood ever made, but the public loved it...
