Two outlaws on the run from an unstoppable posse.
It's an entertaining movie, but the tone is so light it borders on parody in places. I like how they never give a face to the pursuers - a risky move that worked out perfectly. Bicycle riding aside, there's a great Western buried underneath Bacharach's obnoxiously silly music.

The script is pretty awful and Sellers is completely wasted and not even remotely funny. What the hell were they thinking when they made this one? The two young leads, neither of whom had much further acting career, are the only things that make this watchable.
Con men vs. the mob.
It made me restless, and it's very flawed, but it's not a bad movie. It has its moments.

A losing hockey team takes to brawling.
2/4 (Indifferent).
I was under the impression this was supposed to be a comedy. They forgot the jokes. I don't know, maybe this all means something to hockey fans.
