There is practically no plot, and even less character development, but the script is based on a novel, most likely a thin one.

Reviews for Dirty Mary Crazy Larry
What little narrative or characterization shows up on screen could barely fill an abridged short story.
The script, about small-timers who wished they were bigger, is soon totally undermined by Fonda's most complacent performance to date and Susan George's sub-Goldie Hawn antics.
nothing new to anybody who’s caught five minutes of an episode of The Dukes of Hazzard.
The film is so bereft of emotion and so full of physical movement that it's possible this is a point that John Hough, the director, and the screenwriters wanted to make. It's a very small point to be made by such a noisy picture.
