I don't know if the movie is trying to make the audience root for the characters by the end, and if that was the intention, i still think that they're a bad couple who do bad things and clearly bothering everyone around them, and i still want them to have any consequences, i still really liked their portrayal, though, and i think Goldie Hawn and William Atherton both did a great job playing these characters. It's a good movie overall, especially considering it's one of Spielberg's earliest films and his first collaboration with John Williams, who did a terrific job with the score, i already sense that magic of music throughout the film, not knowing if its John did the score for this one. The storytelling works well because i found myself fully invested in the chaos and ended up spending hours with these two characters on a genuinely wild journey, at several points, i honestly had no idea how any of this could possibly work out or how they were going to settle things in the end, which made the film engaging enough for me to keep following it, i did start to feel a bit exhausted near the ending, but Spielberg's direction, the engaging characters, and the overall unpredictability of the ride still make The Sugarland Express a worthwhile journey overall.
