Critic Reviews

  • Rick Groen, Globe and Mail

    Gunless is harmless, the sort of pop entertainment that sets its sights low and doesn't underachieve.

  • Peter Howell, Toronto Star

    A comedy western loaded with chuckles that only occasionally fires blanks.

  • Jim Slotek, Jam! Movies

    Like Shane with whimsy, Gunless takes the hoary old template of the gunfighter movie and gives it an utterly Canadian spin based on our comfort myth of niceness.

  • Jason Anderson, eye WEEKLY

    Gunless is certainly eager to please. Yet for all of its broad humour and cheeky pleas to patriotism, the laughs in this comedy prove to be scarcer than teeth in Gabby Hayes' head.

    A wonderfully enjoyable, vastly original and terrifically entertaining western comedy. A fun-filled joy-ride that has heart and alot of high spirit to go around. An outrageous laugh-out loud comedy that you cant help but love. Paul Gross is excellent.

    In "Gunless," the Montana Kid(Paul Gross) has felt better than when he arrives in the sleepy town of Barclay's Brush, Canada, slumped over his horse which is also dragging a large tree branch behind it. Since he is in a foreign country, he might be forgiven if he has… More

    <b>"Put me down for three more [bullets] and a carrot."</b> This is a charming and funny Canadian western comedy that pokes fun of stereotypical Canadian culture. It was even better than I expected and Paul Gross was terrific. Loved it! <b>"How far… More

  • Sean S


    Funny and light comedy that neatly skewers the old west code of the gun mythos in American culture. It also pokes a bit of fun at the Canadians and the superstar status they accord an American gunfighter and of course no Canadian historical comedy movie would be complete without a… More
