    Billy Crystal, an SNL star, makes a cowboy comedy in this loopy riding adventure, as a man turned 40 who longs to leave the city and go on a cattle drive.

    One of those comedies you go back to. I don't know why. Perhaps it's the thought of three normal people finding something extraordinary inside themselves when faced with mother nature or perhaps it's just the way Billy Crystal acts ;D Watch it and you can be the one to tell me why I love this movie so much!

    Time has taken the luster off of this movie. Great for a first or MAYBE a second viewing but definitely no better than that.

    This movie cracked me up, though not as much as the second movie, that was hilarious. Great actors and a pretty good story line.

    I like how this movie shows, getting away and finding who you really are helps alot. And some people do need to take breaks from their lifes.

    Fun little middle-age crisis movie where "city slickers" get in touch with their country selves and prove to themselves that they are still men. The cute factor is amped up with a baby cow.

    The pick of the characters in this tale is Jack Pallance. Not much to this movie but it's an easy watch.

    What can I say? Billy Crystal will have you laughing like always. Great cast. Definitely worth watching if you need a good laugh.

    Even after 17 years I still remember the tag line: Yesterday they were businessmen, today they're cowboys, tomorrow they'll be walking funny.
    Genius! A fun adventure for all (not just middle aged men going through a mid-life crisis).

    Yeah - I liked this. Possibly cos it was midway territory for my mum and I to enjoy a film together!

    This film attempts to straddle a couple of genres; first of all it is a fish-out-of-water comedy, secondly it is a film about pulling together to overcome great obstacles. Unfortunately it is neither terribly funny nor very moving. Keep an eye out for the little kid, he is played by a young Jake Gyllenhaal. Jon Stewart called this Jake's first gay cowboy movie.

    great way to take a vacation, go to Dude ranch, and go on a cattle drive. I could do that by going home to help my uncle out take care of his cattles. This movie is great.

    I do love this movie....very classic view of guys growing up and getting older and feeling the need to reclaim what has been lost and beaten out of them by life. WILD HOGS ripped this plot off horribly.

    Likable mainstream comedy filled with fun gags, clever one-liners and likable sequences. Billy Crystal will never be a diverse and accomplished actor but this is right in his wheel-house.

    So although not the funniest thing I've ever seen I think the best part of it was the "Oh I know that preson!" bit that I kept having! "Oh look its the best friend from 'When Harry Met Sally'!" "Oh look its the tall skinny crook from 'Home Alone.'" "Oh look its a 10 year old Jake Gyllenhaal!" "Oh look its Lisa Simpson!" "Oh look its Shane from that horrible movie 'Shane'!" But toher than that it pretty good; again not the funniest thing ever but I think part of that is due to the fact its 16 years old. Alot of the jokes are old hat by now. But I still liked it! But mainly for the "Oh I know them!" and the dialogue...alot of it was really, really good! Should Jack Palance have won an Oscar for it? Perhaps, he was pretty good and one of the best characters in it and when you look at his competition it wasn't anything strong so I guess so! I want a calf named Norman!!

    A motley crew of characters combine to make a movie that is a hit in every way. Lots of fun and crazy antics keep you laughing and entertained. Billy Crystal is casting genius and Jack Palance is his usual unbelievable self..

    This is an average, run-of-the-mill comedy. Billy Crystal does a decent job alongside Bruno Kirby and Daniel Stern. It has it's good moments but it suffers from blandness most of the way through. It's worth a watch but that's about it. Look for a young Jake Gyllenhaal as Billy Crystal's character's son.

    Second only to When Harry Met Sally in terms of Billy Crystal's brilliant timing and delivery. It's a tad overly sentimental at times ("Go and find your smile.") but it's well balanced by the humor. Billy doesn't get all the best lines either. Damn shame the sequel sucked so bad.

    Great comedy - plus I have the soft spot for camping movies, so that SORT of fits into that category.

    This film is chock full of cliches and stereotypes - but they're all done so well and with so much heart that you can forgive everything. The cast is fantastic - particularly the very underrated Daniel Stern and the late, great Bruno Kirby. The one-liners remain funny, no matter how many times you watch the movie and Norman the calf is quite possibly the most adorable animal ever captured on film.
