Hot Stuff (1979)


Columbia Pictures
Directed by Dom DeLuise
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Sony Movie Channel)

A team of Miami police officers convert a pawn shop into a sting operation to catch criminals trying to fence stolen goods. It's a non-stop parade of over-the-hill character actors trying to be funny and failing miserably. Dom DeLuise, who also directed, smokes pot and laughs uncontrollably. Jerry Reed, who sings the title song combining disco and country music, attempts to recreate his Smokey and the Bandit persona. Only Suzanne Pleshette adds some class to the proceedings, but she looks lost. A nearly plot-less concoction that is shockingly unfunny.
