Review of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas (1982) by Matthew S — 29 May 2015
The highly innovative and intellectual Broadway play was so full of energy and bite is reduced a to an almost offensively "safe" and limp love story in this adaption. The only true satire that is retained is to be found in Charles Durning's musical number.
Dom DeLuise is simply too likable for his role. And, while there are few fun moments between Parton and Reynolds. This movie should have been so much more. It is ultimately a fairly lame exorcise without style.
