This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

I'm sorry but anybody who didn't get the humor of this comic farce probably thought "My Dinner With Andre" was stupendous cinema. Caan's facial expressions, Powers' ridiculous antics, Ray's over-played bad guy, and even Sammy's gunslinger caraciture keep me coming back to this one right after re-watching "Blazing Saddles". To call this the worst of the worst is to ignore such snooze inducing schlock as anything by Michael Moore, the aforementioned bore fest with Andre, and the original "3:10 to Yuma" if we're comparing Westerns here...

It's one of the best movies I've ever watched. It's so hilariously funny that I laugh every time I watch it. But I'm surprised that quite a few people don't like it. I guess they are just unable to understand such a good movie. It's funny from the beginning to the end.

A drifter named Jud McGraw(Caan) learns to quickly hate the wealthy bully who runs a small ghost town. The movie begins when some L.A. screen writer is going out to the desert to get an idea for a film. He ends up going to a ghost town in the desert and gets extorted by an older couple to see the "ghost town". The older woman promises to return is movie if he isn't satisfied by the tale she is tell of the "ghost town". The majority of the rest of the film is her narrative.This drifter runs into a Native American woman with her own grudge against this wealthy bully. The pair end up declaring war upon this small town, and come up with ingenious and funny ways to get revenge on the town bully. You have to like the idea. Things were really settled by fist, and it wasn't as if Jud McGraw wasn't getting the dickens beaten out of himself while fighting an opponenent.There is a funny role by Sammy Davis, Jr. as a fearless gunfighter. The gun really was power back then. The movie is rather violent and silly, but I do like the part about the L.A. screen writer looking for material in the desert. You really get an idea about life in the desert in this film. Towns spring up and disappear like they were never there.

there are really no words to describe how bad this movie is. thank god we bought it at the dollar store! the only way my sister and i watched it was in fast forward! we couldn't stop laughing, we only watched when we guessed the man was singing, we knew someone was dead! Stephanie powers had the best role, she really did not have much to say or do. i hope they all got paid a lot of money for this mess of a movie.you can tell this movie was made in the late seventies. the music and the way the camera angles were so bad, i thought i was watching a music video. the only way to watch this movie is with a lot of popcorn and a big drink.
