He chases down the miscreants, who turn out to be six orphan children. He has no recourse to the law, for the corrupt local Sheriff takes most of the proceeds of their thievery in exchange for not putting them in an orphanage. They are charming rogues, who are in turn charmed by him. Disliking their arrangement with the Sheriff, they stow away with him, and he finds himself becoming a reluctant father figure.

Critic Reviews

Rita Kempley

Smokey and the Bandit meets the Bad News Bears. [16 July 1982, p.11]

Richard Harrington

If Rogers moves through the film somewhat lethargically, Six Pack's bare-bones plot doesn't provide much inspiration. [20 July 1982, p.B4]

TV Guide Magazine Staff (Not Credited)

For all its cute contrivances, Six Pack isn't a bad film and is guaranteed to warm the hearts of Rogers' fans. Read full review

Janet Maslin

If you've never seen anyone wear a gold chain with a sweatshirt, then by all means go see Kenny Rogers in Six Pack. If that is not your idea of originality, the good-natured but none-too-interesting Six Pack won't strike you as anything new. Read full review

Terry Kelleher

A flavorless brew of Rocky, The Bad News Bears and every bachelor- guardian picture in the history of the medium. [20 July 1982, p.C5]

This is a fantastic family movie with a great message of compassion. Also a fun run through Western racing.

How can a movie with Kenny Rodgers as a racer be so entertaining? I don't have the answers but this one definitely wasn't as bad as it was made out to be.
