Editorial Review:
Description:
Jeff Bridges and Cybill Shepherd give the best performances of their careers [and] Annie Potts is superb (Chicago Tribune) as three sides of a Texas love triangle bending wildly out of shape. Adapted from a novel by Larry McMurtry, this sequel to the Oscar®-winning* The Last Picture Show reunites the original all-star castincluding Cloris Leachman, Randy Quaid, Eileen Brennan and Timothy Bottomsas well as director Peter Bogdanovich for a profoundly satisfying rendezvous (The Philadelphia Inquirer)! She's back. Jacy Farrow (Shepherd), the girl that broke Duane Jackson's (Bridges) heart, has returned to Anarene, Texas. And now Duane is not only harried by a busted business, a sarcastic wife (Potts), and a rambunctious sonwho steals his mistressesbut also by Jacy, who's home to find herself and the love she left behind. *1971: Supporting Actor (Ben Johnson), Supporting Actress (Leachman)
Amazon.com:
Larry McMurtry's novel was a sequel to The Last Picture Show, picking up with the same characters in the 1980s, after the Texas oil boom had gone bust. Peter Bogdanovich, down on his luck, was tapped to direct and managed to reassemble much of the original cast: Jeff Bridges, Cybill Shepherd, Timothy Bottoms, Cloris Leachman, and Randy Quaid. Where Picture Show focused on Bottoms's character, this episode centers on Bridges. Fending off creditors, dealing badly with middle age, and drinking too much, he reconnects with Shepherd when she returns to town. But there's not a lot of plot; rather, this is a meditation on the disappointments life can hand out. Bridges, as always, is solid; Bottoms, something of a lost soul in his acting career, seems typecast as the achiever who never recovered from the shell shock of the Korean War. Still, an interesting companion piece to the first film. --Marshall Fine

Rating:  - VIEW FROM THE SET OF "TEXASVILLE" - A FUNNY LOOK AT REAL LIFE & DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES
EVEN THOUGH MY SON, JIMMY HOWELL, PLAYED THE 10 YR. OLD TWIN OF JEFF BRIDGES AND ANNIE POTTS IN THIS MOVIE, and we were on the set the entire filming (Aug - Nov '89)......I am glad to read E. Currie's review below that states that "Texasville" "is now widely recgonized as an excellent film". I saw the hard work and long hours that Peter Bogdanovich and the crew spent on making this film. This was my first experience on a movie set.
I think the movie is funny, yet sad, in showing ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent Sequel.
Although not well received by the critics, this sequel to The Last Picture Show is now widely recognised as an excellent film.
Laced with explicit and tacit references to the old days, it rekindles that unique atmosphere so meticulously created by Bogdanovich in the original. There are many contrasts, though. This film is set in summer amid stifling heat while its forerunner was icy cold, with the wild Texas wind howling throughout. The overall feel of the film is similarly hot and potent, ... Read More
Rating: - A sleeper of a movie
This movie, although not well-known, is a pleasant surprise. It is a very good sequel to The Last Picture Show. For anyone living in Texas in the mid-1980's it has special meaning - the fall in oil prices, the frequent bankrupties, and the general feeling of malaise. The characterization is especially good, as is typical of McMurtry. Jeff Bridges is superb. It is the type of movie that one can enjoy seeing several times, since the characters fit so well together. For a movie done in the 1980's the technical ... Read More
