He points out how &#8220;Spielberg sways us into favoring Lou Jean [Hawn] by showing us the too-old foster mother and a baby that cries anytime she holds it&#8221;, but notes he &#8220;wouldn&#8217;t want the baby to be given to Lou Jean &#8212; she is a sweet person, but she&#8217;s off her rocker&#8221;. He asserts that &#8220;people like Lou Jen and Clovis [Atheron] have no chance &#8212; they act impulsively and naively, never comprehending that they&#8217;re taking on a force that will crush them.&#8221; While &#8220;Tanner [Johnson] may feel sympathetic toward the couple&#8230; he will take only so much of their challenging the law&#8221;, and &#8220;the police will impersonally carry out their role in the drama &#8212; just as the government scientists will carry out their impersonal role in <a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/?p=42105\"><em>E.T.<\/em><\/a>&#8221; He adds that &#8220;the shame is that there is no attempt to understand Lou Jean and Clovis on a personal level, so that the police could understand that Lou Jean and Clovis would never harm Slide&#8221; &#8212; but that&#8217;s not necessarily true; given Hawn&#8217;s determination to &#8220;rescue&#8221; her son and live a &#8220;normal&#8221; family life, there&#8217;s no telling what she wouldn&#8217;t do on behalf of this goal. Peary notes that while the &#8220;picture has interesting characters&#8221;, &#8220;Spielberg gives us no one who can be admired&#8221;. With that said, the &#8220;acting is solid&#8221;, the &#8220;action sequences are extremely well done&#8221;, and Vilmos Zsigmond&#8217;s cinematography is &#8220;impressive&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fine performances by the two leads<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Atherton-Hawn.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Atherton-Hawn.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"362\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43002\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Atherton-Hawn.png 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Atherton-Hawn-128x54.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Atherton-Hawn-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Atherton-Hawn-768x326.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Vilmos Zsigmond&#8217;s cinematography<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Cinematography.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Cinematography.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"362\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43003\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Cinematography.png 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Cinematography-128x54.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Cinematography-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Cinematography-768x326.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Cinematography2.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Cinematography2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"853\" height=\"362\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-43000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Cinematography2.png 853w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Cinematography2-128x54.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Cinematography2-300x127.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Sugarland-Express-Cinematography2-768x326.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 853px) 100vw, 853px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nNo, but it&#8217;s recommended as a well-directed chase flick with heart. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Links: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt0072226\/\">IMDb entry<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.jigsawlounge.co.uk\/film\/sugarland.html\">Jigsaw Lounge<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tcm.com\/tcmdb\/title\/21194\/the-sugarland-express#articles-reviews\">TCM Articles<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dvdtalk.com\/dvdsavant\/s1313suga.html\">DVD Savant Review<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/www.thespinningimage.co.uk\/cultfilms\/displaycultfilm.asp?reviewid=1249&#038;aff=13\">Spinning Image Review<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;No more runnin&#8217; off, no more speedin&#8217;, and no more guns.
