About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a light, friendly comedy Western with an odd-couple partnership and pretty scenery, similar in spirit to Almost Heroes or Trapped in Paradise; Not for you if you need big laughs or a fast, plot-heavy ride.
Pros: likable odd-couple duo; gentle, easygoing humor; scenic Western backdrop | Cons: thin story; slow-moving stretches; not laugh-out-loud
