  An absolute classic that's too corny once in a while, but only because it's playing with conventions of the cowboy genre (baked beans, singalongs, cattle drives, Jack Palance, etc.). Billy Crystal is not one of my favourite actors, but we see a real growth in him as he pulls himself out of a midlife crisis along with his two lifelong best friends on a two-week trip during which they take a herd of cattle from New Mexico to Colorado. A real "Guy Movie," in a sense, and Jack Palance as Curly - same nickname as the violent rancher in John Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men, by the way - fully deserved his Best Supporting Actor Oscar, walking the line between playing it straight and completely camping it up. Great, fun film, highly recommend.

  Three friends in a mid-life crisis goes on a Wild West adventure together, to re-ignite their lost passions for life. This isn't really a Western movie in the classic sense though, but more like a fish-out-of-water comedy, with influences from said genre. It does have the same feel of one, however, and is one of the most enjoyable films of its kind. Billy Crystal is hilarious with his sarcasm and cynical sense of humor, and together with Daniel Stern and Bruno Kirby they make up a really fun trio. You'll also find Jake Gyllenhaal in a very young role here. Not to mention Jack Palance, who is very memorable as Curly Washburn - an old legendary cowboy who oozes intimidation. If there was ever a contest for most bad-ass cowboy in cinema, it would be a close race between him and Clint Eastwood. Long story short: a highly entertaining movie, and one of my all-time favourite Westerns.

  Totally strange, although I really enjoy Billy Crystal Movies I have trouble with this Movie. Everyone says it is funny, I watched it couple of times, okay it is funny but not funny "Laugh your Buttocks off." It is just a chuckle thing for me. I mean believe it or not I really tried my best and watched couple of times thought maybe I was too tired but it never amused me. It made me you know sort of tired chuckling. *shrugs*

  not interested

  The wittiest of buddy comedies, it features the lovable Billy Crystal trying to find something lost within himself, which is amendable. Can't wait to see the sequel!

• Anthony L

  
  I loved it as a kid but it hasn?t aged well!

• Jason O

  
  The shining moment of Billy Crystal's career in my book, love both of the movies in this series.

  Good "Guy" flick, excellent conversations with boring plot, but its entertaining.

  been a while.

• xGary X

  
  Billy Crystal decides to go to a dude ranch while experiencing a mid-life crisis and undergoes the usual lightly comic life lessons. worth seeing for Jack Palance sending himself up as a grizzled old cowpoke.

  A simple, safe, mid-life crisis comedy movie that manages to almost everything right thanks to a humorous script and good performances.

  Though I am not nearing 40 yet, I can appreciate the mid-life crisis theme in this movie. I seem to have little crises a lot more often than just one yet to come in mid-life. Palance was mesmerizing even though he didn't have much screen time. The three leads, Crystal, Stern… More
  Though I am not nearing 40 yet, I can appreciate the mid-life crisis theme in this movie. I seem to have little crises a lot more often than just one yet to come in mid-life. Palance was mesmerizing even though he didn't have much screen time. The three leads, Crystal, Stern and Kirby are entertaining and believable as regular guys. I distinctly got a kick out of Daniel Stern's explosions of pent-up frustration. And I found it so inspiring that the meaning of life is Jack Palance's finger! Haha.

  Billy Crystal as Mitch Robbins puts a spin on this western as guys facing a middle-life crises who decides to go on a cattle drive adventure to make their life exciting with his friends (Daniel Stern and Bruno Kirby). Jack Palance, is really funny as their homicidal cowboy guide who freaks Mitch out. A consistently and uproariously funny comedy.
