Bob Thomas Associated Press 10/17/2018
Rustlers' Rhapsody tries to challenge the age old rule that you can't satirize the Western, and fails. Go to Full Review Gene Siskel Chicago Tribune 07/15/2014
2/4
Even on the mechanical level in which it was made, the number of jokes that don't work far outnumber the ones that do. Go to Full Review Jay Boyar Orlando Sentinel 07/15/2014
As a 10-minute sketch on Saturday Night Live, it probably would have been dynamite. But at 1 hour, 28 minutes, the picture seems padded. Go to Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Jul 15
2/4
The basic premise isn’t clearly defined. Go to Full Review Candice Russell South Florida Sun-Sentinel 07/15/2014
1.5/4
What this one lacks is broad-barreled fun, which is the essential element in a spoof. Go to Full Review People Magazine 07/15/2014
The producer was David Giler, who once turned out such estimable entertainments as Alien and The Parallax View. Couldn't he have put us all out of our misery? They still shelve movies, don't they? Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Hank C. @hankcrawford Sep 17 Warm-hearted and endlessly playful and goofy. An excellent comedy. See more Stephen C @bob25009 Jul 4 Funny Western movie in 1 hour and 28 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Robyn G Jun 4 Such a classic, timeless and charming. Great family fun. Love this movie! See more R H Dec 21 Very funny. Such an underrated movie. In line with Airplane, Police Academy, The Naked Gun. All gags are played so straight and with such sincerity it's funny and endearing at the same time. Well written, acted, and shot. See more Jarrod R Dec 14 A fun concept - "what if" a singing cowboy movie was made today (in this case, the mid 80s) This satirical western hits many of the right notes (pun intended), but the second act kind of hits a lull, but the finale makes for an entertaining payoff. Still, it's always fun to see Marilu Henner as the "Hostess" of the local saloon, and Andy Griffith as the "bad guy" was really fun, too. See more 03/01/2021 This is honestly one of the most underrated comedies of all time and the fact that critics here have given it a 17% score is honestly mind boggling to me. It is one of the most on the nose, self aware, western satires I've ever seen. For me, this movie is right up there with Blazing Saddles. I've never shown this movie to anyone who came out hating it.
