Andy Griffith, Brant von Hoffman, Christopher Malcolm

A flashy, singing cowpoke (Tom Berenger) rides into town to perform heroic deeds and put an end to bad guys in this good-natured spoof of 1940s B-Westerns that includes all the expected stereotypes of...( read more  read more... ) dashing heroes in white hats, helpless damsels in distress and devious outlaws wearing black. A highlight: Andy Griffith, in a huge departure from his usual "aw shucks" persona, plays an evil cattle baron.

    This movie is very funny. It is a great play on musical westerns.

    Hilarious western satire. I always knew Andy Griffith was hiding his true evil self

    My friend and I quote this movie constantly. More people need to see this, it could be the next MP&tHG!

    Funny funny western spoof. I've seen enough to know that what they're making fun of really needed to be made fun of. "You love me. I'm the only one that can ride you." - gets me every time, especially since the same basic quote is also on Flicka, only they meant it seriously there.

    So politically incorrect, but I laughed my patooty off!
