Customer Reviews of Goin' South
Nicholson at his comic best! Do yourself a favor and buy this movie.This is one that you will not want to miss! This hilarious film, directed by Jack Nicholson, will keep you laughing from beginning to end. Jack is at his mischievous best as a condemned outlaw in the old west who is saved at the last minute by marrying a spinster, played to perfection by Mary Steenburgen. Danny Devito and Christopher Lloyd are excellent as two colorful characters in Jack's gang of cronies. It's silly and funny and just a blast to watch over and over. This film has been a personal favorite for many years. It is a Nicholson classic.
humorous redemption
GOIN'SOUTH is a funny movie about a humorous redemption. Jack Nicholson is the redeemee and lovely Mary Steenburgen is the redeemor. Jack, the low-life criminal, finds that marriage with obedience to Mary is the price he has to pay for going straight. Mary finds that the price of getting cheap gold miner labor through marriage to Jack includes all of the vows, conjugal and otherwise. They actually strike gold and GREED enters into the plot. Greed is a dandy comedy catalyst. The writers gave this movie excellent dialogue. Casting was terrific. What can telegraph a better joke than Nicholson's devilish leer? Mary Steenburgen fit the role of a prim, greedy reformer to a Tee. Even the cover on the box sets the comedy mood of this film with Jack's leering face framed by a noose, saying if I may, "Hey! This is going to be a funny, funny, movie."
A DEFINITE LAUGHER
This was the first incarnaction of Jack reading the phone book: You don't care what's being said because Jack's saying it. GOIN' SOUTH is so pointless it can't help but be funny. The scene where Jack devours the boiled chicken is hysterical (then dead panning to Mary Steenburgen, "How about a little DE-sert?"). I wonder how much of this film was off the script and how much was improved. GOIN' SOUTH isn't ground breaking comedy, but it is a definite laugher.
