This movie was directed by Jack Nicholson (one of the best actors alive) and he stars in it. It's about an outlaw who becomes the wife (and essentially the bitch to) the woman who saves him from execution. She makes him work in her gold mine that produces no gold (is it safe to assume or divulge that it will see a brighter day?) and tend to anything else she can. It's supposed to be a comedy. But the whole idea is kind of stupid, so it's just not funny. But they [the filmmakers] keep on plowing this idea into our heads. Isn't it hilarious that the outlaw is really dumb and dirty and the woman is very refined! How many times have we
not see
that before! There are some interesting lines here and there in
Goin' South and some worthwhile supporting performances (most notably with John Belushi) but it just keeps on getting more boring, more predictable and stupider. It sucks.
Goin' South: ★★
