...Written on the box was this: "Life is serious but art is fun!" I hear his funeral was a party. A street artist had killed himself. Nobody had supported him but now everybody missed him. Now who would make the dogs make music and the mice pant? The bear knows this, too: It is hard work and great art to make life not so serious. Prostitutes know this...
...they are unlikely. Naturally, too, hers don't work out. She snags, through an elaborate and rather funny charade, a beefy hockey player, and he, naturally turns into a ne'er-do-well, leaving her on the skids, trying to snag a better catch. She turns into another pant-suited, overly made-up loser with a hopeless streak of fantasy. You can see what you like in this.

Travolta moved with strobe-lit energy in Saturday Night Fever, woofing his dialogue in a clipped, arrogant, street dialect that matched the simplicity and pant-leg vision of his character. But he brings none of that same energy to director James Bridges' Texas hoedown, which attempts to show where them high-paid redneck rig-works head when the lights go down on the Lone Star prairie. Without a central character who can do anything more than look dumb--convincingly--Bridges has nowhere to take his film...
