      laurent b Great comedy, very well played and directed, and after more than 40 years, it still works totally and that's what is so impressive. I just don't understand why it is still not regarded as a classic, because I've just discovered it today and it's already one of my favorite along with the best of Lubitsch, Wilder, or Mel Brooks (though even it Blazing Saddles is also a western comedy, the humour is quite different from it, and Skin Game is closest to Wilder comedies in my opinion) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review s r It was fine, but certainly could not touch garners other work. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member good western satire and WB's 2000th film! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member A salt-n-pepper con-man team makes for a funny western. (It's kind of a comedy roots movie) Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Dated but a pretty good movie. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Great old comedy made in 1971 with James Garner and Louis Gossett Jr. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Ade Adeniji AdeAdeniji.com Beneath the jovial and slapstick surface, though, there's a more serious movie here that's willing to explore the consequences of this unusual pairing. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 20, 2020 Full Review Tony Mastroianni Cleveland Press Garner has the characterization of lovable rascal down to a science. Apr 4, 2019 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews The seemingly tasteless pic survives on its genial humor, the likability of the popular lead actors and the director's light touch. Rated: B- Jun 27, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews
