One of his early, funny ones.

The thing with this movie and its terrific title is that it's one of those movies where you love the premise you just wish there was less of the movie.

Not bad, has some funny scenes. Despite its short length it really started to drag for me. Woody later perfected the mockumentary with Zelig, watch that instead unless you are a die hard Woody fan.

"William Hummers - wanted by the police for bank robbery, assault with a deadly weapon, murder, and getting naked in front of his in-laws. Franky Wolfe - wanted by federal authorities for dancing with a mailman. A.D. Armstrong - wanted all over the country for arson, robbery, assault with the intent to kill, and marrying a horse" Funny stuff. Has a strong start but this format is difficult to maintain.

Pretty one-note and the laughs are inconsistent.

It really does have some extremely humorous ideas, but Woody fails to elaborate on them and they end up being funny set-ups with no follow through. The movie itself is mostly unfocused and amateurish, but no more than one would expect for so early in his career.

Very uneven with sections that drag pretty badly, but it's fun for Woody completists.

Woody might not have found his own voice yet but this vaguely Pythonesque absurdism suits him.
