Used cars is one of Robert Zemeckis' early classics, before he hit the 'Forrest Gump' more serious drama path. It tells the story of two brothers who own pieces of land opposite each other, both with there own car sales, while one is successful the other one struggles to sell anything. Apart from that is for his fast talking salesman Kurt Russell who can sell a piece of junk to anyone. It is a comedy which also contains bits of action sequences to keep the fast pace going, this is one more for the men although I did enjoy it. 'Rudy' Kurt Russells character goes to all sorts of extremes to keep the business going including switching off a huge football game to put on there advert and escorting a mile of cars to the yard. It is a feel good movie and well worth watching for a bit of light entertainment.

You need to write more information in order to achieve higher rating. You should add in a simple plot line without giving the ending away and your personal views on it. What worked and why? What was the downfall and why? Let me know if you are going to rewrite this and all the best - Kupo X
