An Absolutely Awful Movie
ronnoco2819 May 2019
An awful movie. I'm surprised that it made it to television, even on an obscure channel. It's supposed to be a western comedy. It tries to be funny, mostly by using old timeworn cliches, They don't work, though. It's boring rather than funny.

If high-school kids in a film-studies class had made this film, I'd thank them for their efforts, give them a 'C' for the effort, but advise them to pursue a different line of work.

Chris Atkins was the only actor I recognized. I wonder if perhaps the other actors and actresses were amateur community theater people, who possibly made the movie just for fun. Chris achieved fame back at the outset of his career in "Blue Lagoon". That was a long time ago. He's still working regularly, each of his efforts on TV and movies over the years worse than the one before, and now it's come down to this. I don't think it can get any worse, though, this appears to be the bottom. I think maybe Chris doesn't take himself too seriously, though. By this time he's probably abandoned any thoughts of serious acting, and he just wants to have some fun and make some bucks. Maybe he did this film as a joke.

one for awful

You know that something with the voting system of IMDb is seriously wrong, when a film like this has a higher score than 'Ida' by Pawel Pawlikowski. This here is not even funny, let alone watchable. I mean personal preferences aside, and no need to be hoity toity about things but come on, there has to be some trace of quality to have a score higher than 5,0 on a scale of ten. But this film is just terrible.

It's not even bad enough to be good. And I don't really know what the point of getting the score of an awful film up to 7.8 is anyway, if no-one is going to enjoy it. It just makes you hate everyone involved in it. If someone in all honesty enjoyed this film, please step forward and I rest my case.
