Review of Every Which Way but Loose (1978) by R96Sk — 19 Jan 2022
A bit forgettable, if nothing terrible.
Clint Eastwood is solid enough, while the supporting Geoffrey Lewis, Sondra Locke and Ruth Gordon have a couple of moments. The plot is a little meandering and doesn't hold enough entertainment, even with an orangutan being present throughout 'Every Which Way but Loose'.
I found the pacing to be slower than I would've liked and the characters opposite the lead to be boring, whether it be John Quade & Co. or the pair of police officers. I will say that I actually did enjoy the music used, which is arguably the film's main plus if I'm honest.
I can't say I'm expecting much from 'Any Which Way You Can', the sequel, but I'll give it a chance no doubt.
