Movie Reviews of Rustlers' Rhapsody
Movie Review: Absolutely Hilarious, But Little-Known Comedy Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
Will somebody please answer a question that has plagued me for decades...why is RHUSTLER'S RHAPSODY not on everyone's top 10 contemporary comedy classics list? Like SUMMER SCHOOL, this is a DVD many have been awaiting for years...and it's finally arrived! With more stars than one cowpoke can shake a stick at and written/directed by POLICE ACADEMY-creator Hugh Wilson, this is certainly one of the all-time underrated funny bone classics.A show of hands please of those who still laugh when:
(1) Tom Berenger asks for whiskey with a human hair in it, and
(2) Andy Griffith asks someone to "throw another fagot on the fire." We all know, of course, that this refers to wood, but still a great gag.
Just ironic it's his early films like this that Tom Berenger refuses to talk about...in interviews over the years, I've never heard him talk about RHUSTLER'S RHAPSODY or EDDIE & THE CRUISERS. What a shame that is. (...) do check it out...you're virtually guaranteed sore sides from all of the belly laughs.
Movie Review: An introduction to westerns
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was a child who insisted on hating westerns, this was the movie my dad showed me to change my mind. A spoof on all westerns from the old depression-era shorts to the "spaghetti" westerns of the 70's & 80's, "Rustlers' Rhapsody" not only pays homage, but injects some modern-day common sense into them. I was hooked from the moment the screen shifted into color and the bad guys who had been fleeing the lone cowboy suddenly realized they outnumbered him and turned around to chase him.
This movie not only taught me that I could enjoy a western, but also (with some help from my dad) served as a sort of guide to the various types of westerns that have been popular. The narration gave a sort of tongue-in-cheek analysis of the variations within the genre, which, oddly enough, has helped me navigate my way through more serious films.
Movie Review: The Singing what???
Summary: 5 Stars
This laugh out loud parody of the 40's and 50's cowboy serial movies is wonderful. Tom Berenger plays the 'less than confident' heterosexual good guy Rex O'Herlihan, the singing cowboy, (the singing what?). Andy Griffith and Fernando Rey portray the 'a-typical' no-good Colonels, and G.W. Bailey, (Rizo in the TV series M.A.S.H.),is the narrator and comedic foil to Rex's innocent character. From the black and white square screen and scratchy sound intro, which becomes super surround sound and lush color scenery, to the 'perfect' sunset that Rex rides into, the entire movie is a non-stop, over the top, fun trip. Written and Directed by Hugh Wilson, who is responsible for the hilarious "Police Academy", this is a 'must see' movie. Not recommended for grumpy people!Movie Review: THE BEST WESTERN EVER!

Movie Review: Love the movie
Summary: 5 Stars
It is a very funny movie, with lots of spoofs from old western movies. Basically it is a "what if old singing cowboy movies was made today". My whole family loved the movie on many levels. The kids like the simple plot, flashy costumes and slap stick comedy. The women like it for the funny romance that happens. Adults like the references and spoofs of the old movies we remember as a kid. They movie is narriated by the town drunk so you get a great point of view along the way.
The move is not suspenseful nor overly well acted. It is just fun to watch movie. This would be a movie that Mel Brooks would have approved of. So if you liked Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles, you should like this one.
