Suddently, before you could say, "Joe Namath wears panty hose," Semi Tough was transformed from a funny story about football players into a satire on est, pyramid power and assorted other g And as it wasn't suddently groups. just very funny anymore. I should confess right up front that I read Semi-Toug- h in its original form and liked it very much. Jenkins took on pro football and speared it clean while telling some of the funniest dirty stories this side of Mark Twain. I realize that a director has the right and sometimes the obligation to make changes in a story while translating it to the screen, but I also think he has the obligiation to make but one movie at a time. Ritchie tried to make two and come up with just a mish-mas- h that doesn't do either justice. Jenkins' story was about two good ole boys named Billy Clyde Puckett and Shake Tiller (Burt Reynolds and Kris Semi-Toug- -- head-bendin- for 'Semi-Toug- h' confusing mixture Now is r rrn n y99vTr 20 1957 CHEV WAGON.

Kristofferson) who have been fast friends for years and play football for the New York Giants. They both happen to love Barbara Jane Bookman who loves them both back but lives with Shake. Jenkins takes this trio through to the Super Bowl Jets, charting their loves and raunchy against the doss-as- s goings on. It's funny stuff. What Ritchie has done is introduce Beat (or is it beat), and e training run by Bert Convy. Pretty soon things are reduced to whether Barbara, Jane will "get it" or not so she and Shake can get married. Football becomes just a sideline.. There are still several funny scenes, and Jill Clayburgh as Barbara Jane mouths some marvelous obscenities with all the class you could want. But the football scenes are totally unconvinced, and the plot is continually forced onto sideroads where it doesn't belong just to include another swipe at a consciousness movement Ritchie wants to satirize. A movie about est or the movement in general would have been great fun. And a movie about football would have been great fun. But one about both with the director trying to walk the middle path between them is not great fun.
