About
If you enjoy bold satire and quick, chaotic laughs in a classic Western spoof, you’ll likely have a good time; Not for you if you want modern, respectful humor or you dislike dated racial jokes, similar to Young Frankenstein.
Pros: fast slapstick jokes; strong lead chemistry; memorable running gags | Cons: some jokes feel dated; ending seems uneven; some humor off-putting
