A car jumps over a moving train: automatic 4 stars
Patrick WillemsSep 9, 2020I was once snow-blinded as a child and as I lay recovering in a weird cabin, we watched this weird movie. I of course, only heard this movie because I couldn’t see. For years I had my strange imagination’s version of what this looked like cemented in my brain. I’m always…
Matt GourleySep 26, 2021“Used Cars” runs on a fuel mix of sweat and desperation. But, it’s the sleaze that really makes this greasy engine purr. Director Robert Zemeckis’ second feature film appropriately enough stars Kurt Russell as a smarmy secondhand auto salesman. The idea itself comes…

no one told me this movie was going to be so horny.
Jamelle BouieApr 22, 2020"This movie is structured on a classic Frank Capra movie…except that everybody lies.” - Robert Zemeckis As much as I like this movie, it’s the hilarious commentary with Kurt Russell, Robert Zemeckis and Bob Gale that absolutely kills me. These three are having so…

As broad and goofy as it is, you can just see how Zemeckis/Gale we’re priming to be wildly creative in their scripts and visual storytelling. Kurt makes a wannabe politicial scumbag into a charming go-getter. Some of the stunts in this are insane.
Joe LynchApr 14, 2013Good old-fashioned dirty comedy about an entire universe of grimy scumbags who don't care about anything but dollars, and yet it doesn't for a moment feel the least bit cynical. And the jokes go well beyond the bar for lowbrow humor and score quite a few satirical points as…
JoeMar 18, 2024Zemeckis at his most raucous — the American dream measured in corpses, bare skin and bootlegged cars; if nothing else, it’s the only comedy out there to spend about a half hour of its runtime following 200+ cars stampeding, and crashing, through the vistas of the American…

Played out used car salesman troupes rolled up into a movie. Only made it halfway before the boredom won. Pass.

Metacritic
There are so many different characters and story lines in the movie that it's hard to keep everything straight, and harder still to care.
Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times
A foul-mouthed, bumpercrunching farce that is often funnier in theory than in fact but, even so, is a movie that has more laughs in it than any film of the summer except Airplane! It wipes out The Blues Brothers, Caddyshack, Up the Academy, Where the Buffalo Roam and just about every other recent comedy aimed, I assume, at an otherwise television-hooked public.
