Smokey and the Bandit Reviews
Creative Loafing
Matt Brunson
The movie benefits from some excellent vehicular stuntwork, an apt role for Burt Reynolds, the introduction of Jerry Reed's "East Bound and Down," a bright turn by Reynolds' real-life girlfriend Sally Field, and Jackie Gleason at his hammiest.
Common Sense Media
Renee Schonfeld
Car stunts, romance, and salty language in 1970s comedy.
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
quintessentially 70s and still a ton of fun
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
[A] half-forgotten little curio for later generations to study with puzzled delight.

Brian Orndorf
Bandit has a pronounced Southern charm and smash-em fervor that aids in the digestion of an otherwise overly silly enterprise that's way too permissive with its on-screen talent.

Chuck O'Leary
A raucous blast with plenty of great lines. Gleason is an absolute riot.
Kansas City Kansan
Steve Crum
Gleason is the real show here, but it made Burt a huge star.
Hollywood Reporter
Ron Pennington
While the joke wears thin very quickly, there are a number of amusing sequences, which are combined with some exciting road action to provide a mildly entertaining - and totally mindless - film.
Variety
Variety Staff
There is a parade of roadside set pieces involving many different ways to crash cars.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
The king of the 'good ol' boy' movies.
New York Times
Lawrence Van Gelder
This is a movie for audiences capable of slavering over a Pontiac Trans Am, 18-wheel tractor-trailer rigs, dismembered police cruisers and motorcycles.
TV Guide
The first in the series and the best of a lousy lot.
