Semi-Tough

Semi-Tough (1977) starring Burt Reynolds, Kris Kristofferson, Jill Clayburgh. Billy Puckett (Reynolds) and Shake Tiller (Kristofferson) are professional football players and best friends. They're both halfway in love with Barbara Jane Bookman (Clayburgh), the football team's owner's daughter. Then things start to get a little weird when Shake and Barbara Jane decide to get married. This movie is clearly an artifact of the '70s, with everyone attending a hokey find-yourself seminar called B.E.A.T. The film doesn't take it seriously, though, and it's rather fun to watch. Reynolds is at the height of his stardom. The movie has no English subtitles, but it does have closed captions. Grade: B
