About this movie

Burt Reynolds ("The End") takes the field as a wayward pro football player and notorious ladies' man in this "bawdy and lively" (Variety) comedy co-starring Kris Kristofferson ("Convoy") and Jill Clayburgh ("Shy People"). Flawlessly capturing the world of big-time ball and featuring a host of real NFL players, "Semi-Tough" is an uproarious "comic free-for-all" (Playboy)! Sexy Barbara Jane (Clayburgh) and good ole boys Billy Clyde (Reynolds) and Shake (Kristofferson) have been best friends for years. When Shake finds enlightenment with a wacky philosophy called "IT," Barbara Jane is intrigued. But when her new interest in Shake turns into love, Billy Clyde realizes that Barbara Jane's the woman he's wanted all along!
