      Angelo R Showed it to my movie group at my nursing home. Everyone enjoyed it saying that it was fun to see a good new western. One they hadn't seen a hundred times before. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Louis Gossett Jr makes the movie. Without him this one would be to disjointed. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review lawrence w An HBO TV movie that goes out of its way to keep its tongue firmly in cheek. Anthony Edwards of ER fame is a naive schoolteacher Billy Ray, who takes to heart the dime store novels, takes it upon himself to rescue a female student who was kidnapped by a Mexican bandito. Along the way, he is aided by (the look of his tattered coat) a former buffalo soldier named Van Leek whose horse is so skittish that he has to put cotton in its ears anytime a gun goes off. Van Leek helps Billy Ray put together a crack(ed) team of gunfighters, including John Glover (an affable, hammish preacher), Joe Pantoliano (as the writer Billy Ray admires, looking for some redemption himself) and Miguel Sandoval (a three fingered dynamite man who shares a vitriolic friendship with Glover). It's a fun, bloody, and enjoyable western comedy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review kirby p This is a very cheesy western. It's actually fairly entertaining to watch, although the plot is no great shakes. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Three diverse and colourful characters travel towards a rendezvous with their inner hero; all coming from very different start points and with, apparently, very different motives. This is a quirky, amusing and highly entertaining western with a great cast, great script and delivering considerable doses of pathos to balance the laughs. A very underrated movie. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I always liked this one . . . sort of a spoof on Westerns, and I never really liked Westerns anyway . . .
