I did find much to enjoy in this motion picture. I now do however understand why the film is not well regarded.

Burt is the local law, Dolly is Mona the Madam. Dom is the preacher- nicely swapped here to a TV
The Chicken Ranch is a real place and it has laid a Parson's Egg. This film has nudity, we see lots of boobs and bums during the raid of the Chicken Ranch.
Dolly shows off her assetts
So I imagine that stopped a lot of the prospective audience from seeing it. Apparently they could not use the full name in Promos
I think there is a decent romantic comedy about the relationship between Burt and Dolly - hidden here. The scenes with the two just talking under the stars, are well done. Burt calling Dolly a whore stings. Dolly reaching for a gun, during the raid on the house. If this had been Smokey 3 I think this would have been better
The songs are not bad. I liked them, but they are jarring. It is interesting to hear the governor of Texas describe himself as progressive though
The Dolly brings the house down with I will always love you
