Now, I will even watch James Garner in a bad movie. That whole worldly wise, yet winsome thing he has going makes you think of that best bud you had in junior high.
But this is actually a very good, drown yourself in a bag of popcorn, and laugh your cares away film.
Is it a western parody or humorous homage to some of the great character actors in American western? It certainly doesn't have a mean bone in its body and doesn't rely on shock humor to get you chuckling. This film respects its predecessors and has good clean fun with them.
It's a DVD you can easily find for under $10, and well worth it.
