Watch Goin' South For Free

Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

I've never seen a jack nicholson movie that wasn't chaotic so this didn't disappoint ... i just can't get into watching a film he's in ... we'd have all been better off if they hanged him at the beginning instead letting this fiasco run on

Incredibly underrated flick - great from from start to finish with a perfect blend of action, romance and laughs. First saw it as a teen on HBO a year or two after its theatrical release and it remains one of my absolute all time favorite movies. Great story, dialogue and cast. Nicholson shines as an actor and director while displaying delightful wry comedic timing. Filled with classic scenes and quotable lines. I would guess I've watched "Goin' South" several dozen times and enjoyed every second. If you haven't seen this gem, trust the positive reviews, ignore the misguided negative reviews and check it out.

One can't help but notice how Nicholson eventually gave up on concealing his hilariously obvious coke nose (to the untrained ear it just sounds like "allergies"- this is the usual excuse given, of course....). Over the counter allergy medicine can help with allergy symptoms. Nothing helps cocaine-blasted sinuses. Not even Scorsese could direct while coked up. Nicholson's attempt is considerably more disastrous. Take a second look at the cast (see Belushi) and it isn't hard to deduce what happened to this movie.Note that it gets steadily worse as the film progresses.I wasn't expecting a "great" movie being that this was Nicholson's only directing effort. I was just curious. I didn't expect something this bad. Yikes.

My wife and I stumbled on to this movie while we were dating - after a few strong margaritas. It was the funniest movie we had ever seen (dating about 4 months at this point) however we viewed it later sober and it's just not quite the same. So now it's a tradition = tequila + GS. Give it a try! You will love it. And you will find yourself speaking in GS lingo before too long. My favorite line is when Abe (Henry's aged gang member friend) loses his tooth in Henry's home during a big party - he stumbles around shouting, "Anybody seen my god-damn molar?" The other favorite line from that same party was spoken by Moon to Julia - "C'mon Honey! Act foolish!" - while kicking up his heels in a unique Henry Moon Dance. My wife loves the line Moon speaks at his hanging (while still hooded) when an older woman first first chooses him as her husband - "Mrs Henry Moon! Let me look at you!" She then collapses and dies from the excitement. I think this film set the mood for JN's later works and is worth the time. I am still looking for the DVD - have nearly worn out the VHS tape.
