    There's a very very good reason Clint Eastwood doesn't do musicals.
  • July 14, 2007
    I'm not a fan of musicals, but this amiable western is full of slapstick drunken brawls and affable cowpokes, semi spoofing the genre. Imagine a romantic Cat Ballou with songs...?! Plus Lee Marvin and Clint are great together.

    Paint Your Wagon is a strange western musical which has some embarrassingly catchy tunes. What a ride!
  • May 24, 2007
    One of the very worst musicals of all time. Sorrry, Clint can't sing.
  • November 14, 2006
    Mildly amateurish, yet funny and interesting.
  • November 2, 2009
    A must see movie... An all star cast from Lee Marvin to Eastwood...
  • October 29, 2009
    A good comedy musical with some memorable songs.

    I WAS BORN UNDER A WONERING STAR... MUD CAN MAKE U DIRY AND THE PLAINS CAN MAKE U DRY, SMOKE CAN BURN YOUR EYES BUT ONLY PEOPLE MAKE YOU CRY....
  • August 22, 2009
    my fave Clint Eastwood is fantastic & very young...
  • July 13, 2009
    Absolutely wonderful, no matter what anyone tells you about the singing in it. Good enough to be played forever (decades) in a row in one Canadian theatre!
