Too often, this movie is thought of as just being Mr. Marvelous- Billy Crystal's film. While it it, the film actually holds up a good entertainment. It doesn't have enough Jack Palance but it has enough about life & a mixture of drama to make it a good film.
Rather than just trying to put Crystal's comedy on film, this film follows the stories of 3 frustrated middle aged men & why they need to go out west for 2 weeks & be in a cattle drive. The themes are a little mature for the youngest kids, but for teens & above it works really well. The pacing & the films messages are good.
This will never go down as a great film, but it is a solid good one that is about just 1 thing - living life. Once you figure out how to live yours, that is the message from this film. It has enough laughs to enjoy too.
