    Some funny moments that are over shadowed by aweful (not on purpose) acting. The low budget production is abismal as well.

    This movie has everything. From Mormons that turn evil, to Japanese Indians, to songs about building snowmen when you're lost in the wilderness, to chopping off the heads of fur trappers who steal your woman. I mean horse. See it with the whole family.

The production quality is surprisingly good for a school assignment. The jokes are hit-or-miss. I showed it to a few friends, who got bored and wanted it to be shut off. The pacing was a bit slow in spots, so could've been edited tighter. Overall, it's an enjoyable romp which I often re-watch.

    I really liked this film. All the songs were great. The trapper song is hilarious. I'll be getting this soon and I can't wait.

    This is actually a good musical and it's really funny. Just beware of the gory finale and you should be alright.

    Catchy songs. A mix of lame, clever and genuinely funny comedy. Worth a couple watches for sure.
