Movie Reviews of Rustlers' Rhapsody
Movie Review: A great sendup of old fashioned Westerns
Summary: 5 Stars
Rustler's Rhapsody is one of those movies you'll either love or hate, or possibly you'll enjoy it or not care about it. At any rate, at times it's almost as funny as Blazing Saddles, and it's much better done(and more believable) than the recent 3:10 to Yuma (Widescreen Edition). Tom Berenger is excellent as a really good good-guy, a young Sela Ward and a not-so-young Marilu Henner are both yummy, but for me, Andy Griffith is the funniest. Like Lloyd Bridges' take on admirals and presidents in Hot Shots! / Hot Shots! Part Deux (Double Feature), Griffith does a great job of taking the Mickey out of all the movie cattle barons, Colonels, and railroad tycoons we've seen over the years. There's lots of quickie lines that you might miss the first time around, but after watching it a few times, you'll pick up on them, and probably start using them yourself(our favorite was always "I'll have a warm glass of gin with a human hair" and "The roots are kicking in"). This isn't the masterpiece that Blazing Saddles is, but it's still fun.Movie Review: Rustlers Rasphody

I watched it many times on Tape and just recently got it on Dvd to my delight. As with many on my favorites you either love it or hate but as for my friends and I we are in tears from laughing so hard. Not the first time we watched it but about the third or fourth time. Much like the Naked gun series replays only make it funny and 20 years later you still quote lines.
I grew up watching westerns and something I ask my Dad often as a young kid was how can the one good guy take on 6 bad guys and not get killed. This movies answers that question and many more.
Many of the jokes slide by my favorites involve the town drunk getting ask for a light ( nope got see it not gonna tell). Rex ordering a drink in a bar and telling the bad guys
all the wrong things. One joke I will tell you is when a guy get Shots the Doctor looks at him and says well we will have to amputate the leg and the guy goes but Doc I got shot in the hand.
Me I'm laughing just typing it. There is also a great line by Patrick Wayne in the end of the movie (yes you have to watch and yes you will know).
If you ask me all time favorite Comedy it's easy Caddyshack Very funny great lines superb cast. But for a lesser known fun movie this is it.
Just remember to watch it a few times it gets funnier with each viewing.
Movie Review: A Western Worth Its Gold In Laughs

A funny story behind when I first saw this movie. I had purchased a Laser Disc player from a local stereo shop. The local stereo shop did not have any model's left in stock, so they offered to sell me the floor model at a reduced cost. So, never passing up a bargain, I bought the floor model and lo and behold someone left Rustler's Rhapsody in the player! I had never head of this movie before, but figure what the heck. I wanted to try out my new Laser Disc player anyways! Not sure what to expect, I was very surprised by the quality the movie posessed and the wonderful laughs it brought. This movie was a classic from the start I believe. I was so intrigued by the movie, that I returned the Laser Disc left in the player to the store and purchased my OWN Laser Disc copy! I have since shown that version to many family friends and everyone enjoyed it just as much as me. I was very glad when the DVD came out, cause I was really getting tired of having to flip the Laser Disc over for Side 2 about half way through the movie. The quality of the DVD matches up very closely to the Laser Disc format and has better sound I think. I highly recommend you give this movie a whirl, cause I think you'll be in for a nice ride through the western front and come out singing and wishing that the old west was at your home.Movie Review: HOW THE WEST WAS FUN
Summary: 5 Stars
RUSTLER'S RHAPSODY is a marvelous, witty and entertaining satire on those old westerns of the 30s and 40s. Tom Berenger is great as the hero, Singing Cowboy Rex O'Halloran. Playing against type, Tom moves effortlessly through the role, and has a fabulous wardrobe to boot. G. W. Bailey as the town drunk and wannabe sidekick is wonderful, too. His deadpan deliveries are priceless. Sela Ward is comically proficient, too, as the ranchowner's daughter who gets drug around by her horse; Marilu Henner doesn't have a lot to do, but as the hooker with the heart of gold and business savvy is good in her brief appearances; Andy Griffith is funny as heck as the ranch baron with a proclivity towards his ranch hands; Fernando Rey does well as the Italian train mogul. The whole cast is perfect; the direction is right on--congratulations, Mr. Wilson. There are a ton of priceless scenes, too many to mention. This movie should be considered a classic but somehow got overshadowed by BLAZING SADDLES, which is funny, too, but RHAPSODY is a lot less crude and overall, more consistent in its flow. Enjoy this one..it is a hoot!!!!Movie Review: Ganbgs of Fun!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I first saw this movie, it was on a whim. I didn't know what to expect, but I saw the cast and figured that I couldn't lose. I went into the theatre, sat down and was immediately taken back to the fifties when I would religeously watch the westerns that littered the airways way back before the advent of Cable TV. Rustlers Rhapsody is just lots of fun, especially if you remember the likes of Roy Rogers, Gene Autry, Tex Ritter, and The Lone Ranger. The fancy clothes, the silver saddle, the polished two-gun rig and of course, the Wonder Horse. Rustlers Rhapsody is a tip of the hat to all that, and more. When I say more, they even make fun of Modern day westerns like the Italian gems we had seen in the 70's. Interjected with modern day humor and moral values, I had to laugh at all the gags and situations presented. (I am especially fond of the scene where the short cowpoke walked up to the town drunk and asked for a light.) If you want a good old fashioned fun time, I heartily recommend Rustlers Rhapsody. If you were born between 1945 and 1955, this one will touch a nerve and keep you giggling for a good while.
