5/5 Sugerland Express
  by Janet Scott-mingham
This is an under rated classic........... Funny and tragic all at once. Goldie is at her best but never forget Ben Johnson! He is the classic Southern lawman with a heart of gold!

5/5 FUNNY and TOUCHING

I was actually living in Houston when this story occurred. It really was a big deal and happened like the movie depicts. Great movie.

5/5 Surprisingly Moving
  by C. Rocklein
To see Goldie as not much older than a teenager is near worth the price of admission. But on top of this (and she IS cute) she puts in a GREAT performance as the lovable yet strong-willed mother of a somewhat criminal bent intent on getting her baby back. I started watching this last night and had to turn it off mid-way to go to bed. There were some moments in the middle there which could be described as *long*. However, this morning I threw it on again for the second hour and was not in the least bored. Far from it, I was very impressed, moved even, by the story and the actors performances. Good camera work too, if you're paying attention. This one's worth the watch - it's Spielberg!

4/5 Early Spielberg...Brilliant Spielberg
  by Ryan Rogers (Memphis, TN)
Before there was a blockbuster, before there was Jaws (30th Anniversary Edition) and Close Encounters of the Third Kind (30th Anniversary Ultimate Edition), there ws The Sugarland Express. Spielberg's first full-length motion feature. He previously directed the TV movie Duel (Collector's Edition) and few TV show episodes, but this is what really got him attention. He showed that he could develop and direct a full-length motion picture.

The movie itself is and uproarious hoot. Goldie Hawn stars in this true story about a women who breaks her husband out of jail to get their son back. It is one of the best technical low budget movies and such a sincere and fun movie. One of Spielberg's highly underrated and best.

The DVD doesn't feature much in the way of extra features but the movie on DVD is enough.

Highly recommended.
