Plot: Used Cars is one of Robert Zemeckis' pre-Roger Rabbit and pre-Forrest Gump efforts starring Kurt Russell is a devious car salesman who goes to work for affable but monumentally unsuccessful used car dealer Jack Warden. Warden's principal rival is his more prosperous twin brother, also played by Warden, who schemes to take over the good brother's lot. After a series of raunchy vignettes, the film boils down to an every-man-for-himself price war between the two Wardens, which rages on even after we're one Warden short. The supporting cast of Used Cars is populated by such reliables as David L. Lander, Michael McKean, Al Lewis, Dub Taylor, Dick Miller and Betty Thomas. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

I first saw this movie when I was 16 - 17 years old. It was one of the funniest movies I ever saw. The second time I saw it is now at 45 years old. It was just as funny as I remember it. I highly recommend it. I would give it five stars, but nothing is perfect.

In my opinion, the funniest movie ever made. Overlooked at the time by many and underpromoted, they SHOULD have made a sequal. Russell and Jim the Mechanic steal the show. Great ensemble cast & the funniest scenes ever put together for a film. 30 years ago & it's still as good as it gets!

I decided to write this review because I had to warn people about this movie when I saw all of the glowing 5 star reviews proclaiming this as the funniest movie ever made.


I made the mistake of buying this based upon said reviews. I made an error.

I watched this movie twice because I wanted to give it a second chance and I still don't know where any of the "belly laughs" were in this movie and I certainly didn't have the problem experienced by many other reviewers of falling out of my chair in fits of laughter. I guess comedies didn't have to be that funny in 1980 to make people laugh. To be fair - there are some funny parts in here and some nudity, but not enough to warrant buying this movie - or even watching it more than once. I would have given it 2 stars but I had to try to counter all of the 5 star reviews to let people know that this movie is not nearly as funny as it is made out to be on Amazon (4&1/2 stars???Really?). If you really want to see it, I would highly recommend renting first.
