Hooper Summary
MPAA Rating: PG
Director: Hal Needham
Genres: Action, Comedy
Rating:
Following the blockbuster success of Smokey and the Bandit, Burt_Reynolds, Sally_Field and director Hal_Needham reunited to make the very similar Hooper, an action-laced comedy about a Hollywood stunt man who enters a dangerous rivalry with a younger stunt man. Hooper (Reynolds) and the younger stunt man (Jan-Michael Vincent) compete in a series of increasingly complex stunts in order to earn the title of "the greatest stunt man alive." Hooper is lightweight, mindless fun that doesn't have much story, but it is a stronger film than Smokey and the Bandit, largely because the characters are somewhat stronger. Everyone involved looks like they're having fun; the good-humor translates on screen. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi
