Review of Urban Cowboy (1980) by Pauline Kael for The New Yorker — 04 Feb 2008
An absurdly upbeat romantic vehicle for John Travolta. The film-makers appear to believe that the moviegoing public craves a reassuring love story, at any cost. This film ends up as s counterfeit endorsement of the so-called simpler so-called values.
