As Good As It Gets
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Having been raised in Tucson, Arizona in the 60s and 70s it was neat to get a peek at my hometown and the way it used to look. But that's the only reason I was willing to endure one of the worst movies I've ever sat through. There are glimpses of Mount Lemmon from the back (probably shot in the Oracle area). Sabino Canyon is in quite a few scenes and it looks like some of it was filmed out on Houghton Road. The only reason I didn't rate it a "1" is because I was entertained by Tucson's old scenery. It's a good thing Namath could throw a football, or he'd have been holding a spatula somewhere. God, this was bad. And it has nothing to do with it being dated. This was horrid, even by 1970's standards.
C.C. & Company isn't great, and it isn't supposed to be. It's entertaining and sleazy, and that's all that matters. Namath charms his way through his undemanding role, riding his motorcycle, committing casual thefts, romancing Ann-Margret, and kicking some ass when he has to.Meanwhile, there's plenty of buzzy motors, scuzzy bikers (including genre stalwart William Smith and Sid Haig in a furry helmet), and generic fuzzy bike-riding music to keep the genre enthusiasts satisfied. The most enjoyable camp component of the movie, however, has to be the sweaty musical interlude courtesy of hollerin' Wayne Cochran and the C.C. Riders, with white guy Wayne coming off as James Brown in a blonde proto-mullet and headband.Watch it on a Saturday afternoon with low to medium expectations, don't expect too much violent action, and you ought to enjoy yourself.
Its starring Joe Namath, for God sakes. Don't expect it to be Citizen Kane. However, if your taste in movies is tasteless, this film wont let you down.Its got everything you want in a trash movie; REALLY bad acting, exploitation of naked actresses, fighting, motorcycle chases, bad camera work, etc...Among the highlights: 1) the only big screen film appearance of Wayne Cochran and the CC riders. He was known as the white James Brown and his cover version of Otis Redding's "Can't Turn Me Loose" in this film shows you why. 2) An Ann Margaret nude scene, in the middle of her prime MEEEEEOOOWWWWW! 3) Probably William Smith's best movie performance in a career that has spanned over 60 years. 4) The soundtrack is one of the best unsung biker movie soundtracks. Lots of funky fuzz guitar, as well as Wayne Cochran and the title track by Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels. Joe Namath's performance is one of the worst in film history for a big studio, mainstream release. Its spectacularly awful. In an entertaining and charming way, it truly sucks.Watch it for ironic content, not for a truly great film, and you will enjoy it. Its so bad that its a masterpiece.
From start-to-finish, this movie is a stinker. Bad acting, lousy script and terrible production values. I can see Joe Namath doing it but it's hard to believe that an accomplished actress like Ann-Margaret agreed to appear in this loser. That being said, I just located and purchased this hard-to-find flick at the aptly-named Cheesy Movies.com. Why? Because it is the only movie that blue-eyed soul man Wayne Cochran and the C.C. Riders ever appeared in. If there are any Cochran fans reading this, grab this movie and catch Wayne and his boys doing a full-length version of "I Can't Turn You Loose". Wayne Cochran recordings are very hard to come by, let alone a cinematic appearance. It was worth the $4.98 I paid for it.
