The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas Audience Reviews

GamerTab That was an excellent one.
Marketic It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.
Motompa Go in cold, and you're likely to emerge with your blood boiling. This has to be seen to be believed.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Daphne Heijmering What a joy to watch! Maybe you've got to like the good ol' Dolly Parton to enjoy the movie, I'm not sure. To speak for myself, I loveee Dolly and I loveee this movie! It leaves you with a smile on ya face!+ = Dolly Parton + = The chemistry between Dolly & Burt Reynolds + = The clothing, such great dresses! + = The songs - = Some small scenes are terrible to watch, 'cuz they're supposed to be funny but aren't ;). Gotta watch yourself if you'll agree with me.PS: Dolly Parton looks beautiful in this movie and I kinda feel bad that she now uses or have used botox and other injections. Because I believe no woman could have looked more beautiful that Dolly back in the days. So feminine and jolly! For all people a source of positive inspiration :)
Danny Blankenship Finally watched "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" and I must say fun musical with a story that's funny and the acting was true to heart with a theme that's real. And that is who really cares that the world's oldest profession exist hey legalize it! Based on a play set in Texas a house of prostitution known as the Chicken Ranch is on the verge of being shut down by a gossip type TV traveling hype salesman named Melvin Thorpe(Dom DeLuise)as it's his first goal to expose it's scandal. Yet the house's leading lady Miss Mona(Dolly Parton)joins forces with the local sheriff Earl Dodd(Burt Reynolds)to stop it's closing yet along the way the two join in a romance hopefully this all works out to save the girls and their jobs as they need to shine in their sexy colored bras and attractive underwear! Overall it's a fun journey with some great tunes the Parton and Reynolds chemistry is unmatched and the wonderful Jim Nabors is a treat as the narrator and future sheriff. Overall good little fun comedy!
rich-228 I didn't make it more than 30 minutes on this piece of junk. I seriously wonder why so many of the previous reviewers call it the best musical they have ever seen......... i think maybe they haven't seen many. Hold this up to any of the classic musicals of the 1950's and you'll see how truly bad it is. Not worth renting, that's for sure.Dolly is OK. Burt tries but fails. The musical numbers are mostly very badly done. The plot drags. Jim Nabors, channeling his Gomer Pyle USMC character, is very annoying. I suppose if you are in this for the titillation (I wasn't), the movie might be...... a bit titillating, but that's the only reason I can think of to watch this mess. Production values uniformly cheap.
bichyjojo OK, so I just watched this movie in its entirety for the first time. I watched bits and pieces of it growing up when I could while Mom was not at home. Because of course, I wasn't allowed to watch it.Seeing bits and pieces of it growing up, I thought it was a great movie. To actually sit and watch the entire movie was awesome. It was a great, light-hearted comedy. I have always loved Dolly Parton, since I was a little girl, and playing Ms. Mona just made me love her that much more. Her voice is one of the most memorable ever. I also love Burt Reynolds, and he played the sheriff to a tee.I know this is not a great comment on my part. I just want everyone to know that I LOVE this movie and I think if you have never seen it and love comedies/musicals, you will adore this movie as much as I did.
