Movie Reviews of Rustlers' Rhapsody
Movie Review: Enjoyed more than Blazing Saddles
Summary: 4 Stars
I was looking everywhere for this movie then I got the bright idea of looking into Amazon.com and presto! They had it! The only thing that keeps this DVD from being 5 stars is that it has no good bonus material (interviews, out-takes and such) but the movie itself is hilarious. If you laughed at Blazing Saddles you may find Rustlers' Rhapsody even funnier. The catch phrases are great and I keep fast forwarding to my favorite parts for which there are many. Casting Andy Griffith as a "bad guy" was genius. He plays it perfectly. Berrenger's performance as a cowboy "good guy" is what makes this work. He appears to take himself so serously one just has to laugh and I mean belly laugh! You'll love it.Movie Review: Very Amusing
Summary: 4 Stars
A western comedy? Not too many of those out there. Maybe that's why Rustler's Rhapsody isn't as well-known as it deserves to be. I had a great time watching this. The humor level is above-average in terms of sophistication. It doesn't take itself too seriously but never degenerates to the point of absurdity. A good cast helps round out the film's enjoyment.
It's too bad there aren't any special features found on this disk. However, the low price makes up for it. Add the fact that this DVD is in anamorphic widescreen (the quality all widescreen movies should be in but aren't) and you have a terrific value. Highly recommended.
Movie Review: VHS review
Summary: 4 Stars
One of the other reviewers noted an important scene in the DVD (where our hero "becomes a confident heterosexual") has been cut. Its also missing in the VHS version too, so be warned. When comparing running times, the DVD indicates 88 minutes, the VHS 89 minutes. So I thought the scene where Berenger does the wild thing with Sela Ward for the first time existed on the VHS. Nope. This is really a critical scene as a setup for the running joke in the movie. In addition, it's absence causes part of the final scene's dialog to come off as, well, nonsense.Movie Review: Underrated Western Spoof, but missing a scene
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is a clever parody calling out all of the western cliches. Be warned that the movie inexplicably is missing a scene. It is the scene where Rex gains his heterosexual confidence after he backs down from the other good guy. This deletion prevents the movie from resolving Rex's confident heterosexuality problem, which was actually one of the more sophisticated gags in the movie. It is inexplicable because even the television version of the movie contains this scene.Movie Review: Rustler's Rhapsody
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the premise--that of the old-time good guys meet the spaghetti-western bad guys.
Is this movie silly? Sure, but in a campy sort of way--no worse than Blazing Saddles or Airplane! or other similar movies.
The use of cliches is perfect!
