“u0026quot;Eat My Dustu0026quot; was one of producer Roger Cormanu0026#39;s biggest hits. Seeing the movie today, most likely you will wonder why. To be sure, top-billed star Ron Howard is a likable actor, but he doesnu0026#39;t get that much of a chance to shine in a movie thatu0026#39;s basically centered around one big chase. Speaking of characters, the lead female character is so stuck up and snotty you will wonder why Howardu0026#39;s character is attracted to her. And Iu0026#39;m sure even younger viewers will question how the youths in the movie think that all the destruction they cause is hilarious. I am sure some viewers will dismiss these charges, thinking that they will still get plenty of entertainment from the many, many car chase sequences. Think again. Most of the time, the cars involved in the chase donu0026#39;t seem to be travelling at top speed, and the movie keeps cutting to the idiot sheriff and his dim-witted helpers in sequences that contain no laughs. This movie isnu0026#39;t aggressively bad, but itu0026#39;s flat and unmemorable.”
