Sonny and Jed

1972 · 94 min

A grubby, bickering chase comedy that follows two unlikeable outlaws across a dusty West, funny and mean at once.

Tagline: You'd call 'em gross... we say they're wild!
Overview: As thoroughly unlikeable a robber as ever walked the West, Joe nonetheless robs from the rich and gives to the poor. Not only is he a murderous, ill-tempered sort, he is bad-mannered, too. When beautiful Sonny decides he should be her man and teach her how to be a proper outlaw, sparks fly.
How it feels: Satirical, cynical, absurd and romantic. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Crime, love, obsession, betrayal
Content: Strong violence. Mild gore, sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
