Buffalo girls? I don't think so.

I have to disagree with the previous comments. I have a passion for westerns, too, but this one wasn't that good. Anjelica Huston only impressed me during the scenes where Calamity Jane was vulnerable. It was annoying every time her character was cocky. Melanie Griffith as Dora DuFran didn't impress me either. Or let me put it this way and this is what I've never understood. Why do certain girls speak like they were babies? Do they think it sounds sexy? Well, it doesn't. It sounds childish. I don't believe girls in the old west were childish. To me, Buffalo Girls sounds like something else. With that being said, it's boring to follow these characters as they try to prove they are buffalo girls. However, I thought the beaver scenes were beautiful. Jack Palance and Tracey Walter did a good job there. Another good thing about this movie is that it's a western. They are rare these days.

My vote: 5/10
