Pop-star duo Sonny (Sonny Bono) and Cher (Cher) star in this parody of Hollywood B-movie clichés, helmed by director William Friedkin. Given the opportunity to headline their own feature film by studio executive Mr. Mordicus (George Sanders), Sonny and Cher have three days to come up with an idea for a hit movie, or they'll have to use the studio's hackneyed script. Each of the duo's movie concepts, including a jungle thriller and an old-fashioned Western, features Sanders as the villain.

Good Times is no classic, but in ambition and achievement it's better than most movies of its type.

As for Sonny Bono's acting talents, let's just say he makes Ringo Starr look like Daniel Day-Lewis by comparison.

Sonny and Cher's only movie together, a minor, self-referential flick in which they play themselves, represents the feature debut of William Friedkin, who four year later won the Oscar for The French Connection

Viewers should be significantly disappointed in Sonny and Cher's only film together, as it is certainly not, as the title suggests, good times.

1/4

The movie's incredibly thin storyline seems to exist for the sole purpose of allowing Sonny and Cher to sing a lot of silly pop songs and appear in cheesy sketches.

Regardless of what any critic says, "Good Times", while cheesy and silly, totally embodies who the 'characters' of Sonny & Cher were. Yes, it's a virtually plotless film chock full of song, dance, and Sonny & Cher banter. Those who would go on to adore their hit variety series should enjoy this film just as much!
