Movie Info

Texasville is Peter Bogdanovich's much-delayed sequel to The Last Picture Show. Adapted from Larry McMurtry's novel and told as a series of episodes, Texasville follows the characters from The Last Picture Show as they reunite in a small Texas town nearly 30 years after the end of the last movie, and face a number of adult problems, as well as confronting lingering emotions and memories from adolescence. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, Rovi

comes off like an exceptionally slow episode of Dallas.

It is, in a sense, like a high school reunion, taking people we last saw in 1951 and continuing their histories in the early 1980s.

This is purty near the worst movie of the whole year.

Good but far from great sequel to Bogdanovich's "Last Picture Show."

It all looks good, though, and the actors - epecially Bridges and Potts - are clearly having a ball.

The Last Picture Show is a stark and hypnotic portrait of a West Texas town in its final death throes, a lyrical and touching film about friendship and love and sex. Texasville is about nothing.

Bittersweet drama about the different changes in middle-age for men and women.

Fairly lukewarm sequel to an American classic. Has its moments, but not enough of them.

Audience Reviews for Texasville

Honestly, this the most bizarre sequel to The Last Picture Show. It's actually just as good, but completely different in story, visuals and mood. This is a complete black comedy as opposed to the fairly serious approach to the original. The characters have seemed to all lost their minds except for Jeff Bridges' Duane,

While "Texasville" is a sequel to Bogdanovich's classic "The Last Picture Show", they are very different movies. While "The Last Picture Show" is a dark portrait of the sexual morals in the 50s, "Texasville" a colorful portrait of sexual ambivalence in the Reagan 80s. All the actors are clearly having a blast
