"Who Are Those Guys"?

Rating: Null/10 (29 April 2003)

The "blueprint" for every buddy movie you've seen in the last 35 years...
The recent passing of director George Roy Hill prompted me to revisit this classic. I checked it out with and without the commentary on a DVD, and it was just fine either way. Just good old-fashioned American movie making, something you can watch with your kids and not worry about anything too embarrassing cropping up (save for the hot scene where Sundance gets back with Ms. Ross-who never looked better).
Nothing too revealing came out of the DVD interviews with Newman and Redford from the early nineties, but it seemed like a nice trip down memory lane for both them and me. However, Redford did seem to really enjoy the scene where Butch kicked Ted Cassidy ("Lurch") in a "very sensitive area"!
