Review of Mother, Jugs & Speed (1976) by Matthew C — 21 Feb 2010
Not really the zany comedy the back of the box promises, but itâ??s enjoyable nonetheless. Bill Cosby is definitely the standout performer as Mother, the seen-it-all EMT for hire whoâ??s forced to partner up with a shady ex-cop nicknamed Speed (Harvey Keitel) and the aptly named Womenâ??s Libber Jugs (Raquel Welch).
Most of the â??funnyâ?? moments fall flat but I surprisingly enjoyed the serious social commentary stuff. An early scene with a dead dopefiend is beautifully composed. But the shoot â??em up ending feels forced for sure.
So, not a great film but a solid one. VF.
