I have to say that there is nothing wrong with low budget films, so that was not my problem with it. My problem with it is that I felt like I was watching my next door neighbor's home movie. IMO everything about it just seemed like a guy wrote out a quick story, grabbed a camera, and started shooting. I understand how hard this must be to do effectively, but when I pay to rent a film, I expect to feel like I am watching some type of professionally made movie.John Schneider has a huge resume, is a great actor, and was fine in this film. The other people in it were not. I understand how it must be fun, and cheaper to use friends, and relatives as the cast, but it doesn't make for convincing acting. It seemed like the way it was shot, he was trying to give many of the scenes a more interesting look, but when the writing, plot, and acting are there to begin with, that type of style isn't necessary, and it is a distraction.Also on a technical level, it had digital artifacts all over the place. In the first scene of all of those fine cars, when they did a slow scan of them, they appeared to jerk back and forth just a little bit. The problem isn't in my viewing equipment, (Benq PE-8700 84" diagonal) but somewhere in the production. I've never seen that kind of artifact in a professionally made film before. Then there was the sound. It sounded like they didn't do any voice-overs, which may be o.k. unless it sounded like the track in this film. It sounded like the built in microphone on the camera.

John Schneider succeeded in doing what he set out to do and that was to create a movie that will appeal to moviegoers of all ages. The movie is quite entertaining and has a decent plot. If you expect a family movie that is so sugary sweet that anyone over the age of five won't be able to tolerate it, then you are in for a pleasant surprise. It is a well-written story with a little something for everyone. A definite must for all John Schneider fans and a good place to start for all those looking for a refreshing change of pace. They say the family that plays together stays together - with all the family members and friends that are part of the cast, you know the Schneider clan is a very cohesive unit. If you are a Dukes fan, you'll enjoy the stunts and the racing scenes.

I have watched The Dukes of Hazzard for many years as a child. Now my kids are watching to. My husband and I met Don Gilley and John and they were the nicest people and very nice to my two daughters. They came to Amarillo Texas and showed the movie and we all loved it and enjoyed having John and his crew there. He is really a talented man and should be given the opportunity to sell and have this movie produced by Hollywood. The movie is a lot like the Dukes of Hazzard and he is just as good. He is a very talented actor is deserving of having a great family movie be shown in the movie theaters. This is an EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!!!!

"Collier & Co." starring John Schneider is a family comedy which will keep you laughing throughout the entire movie. There is also a lot of action. Do you love the TV series The Dukes of Hazzard? If you answered yes, then this movie is for you! It is a film which you can take your entire family to see without any reservation. I was fortunate to be invited to the red carpet premiere on Oct. 27th in Memphis, TN. What a premiere it was! The crowd really was involved in the movie as we laughed and yeeeehaaaaaed throughout. John portrays J.R. Collier, a man who can't grow up. He wants to continue racing and jumping his car while his wife Becky (Elly) wants him to grow up and settle down with a job. Otherwise she wants a divorce. Their daughter, Danielle (Karis), is just like dad. How J.R. convinces Becky to stay with him is beyond belief. Let's just say that he does a lot of fast racing and jumping in his cars. Meanwhile the bad guys are going crazy trying to keep up with him. References to the TV series The Dukes of Hazzard are everywhere throughout this movie. Dukes fans unite - contact your local theaters and insist that they screen "Collier & Co." in their theaters. You will not be disappointed!
