CRITICS

"... a good deal of careful character work... ends up being another rowdy set of good ol' boys in search of a plot... uniformly able company... Cohen has extracted fine performances from his cast, but neither he nor they can rise above the limits of the text." Sylvie Drake, Los Angeles Times, 8/8/1986 Calendar, p.19.
