To me, this type of movie is what made the TV show, Briscoe County so great!! So many hidden meanings and insider jokes. It is fun for all ages, but if you are over 35, and loved watching old westerns when you were a kid, this movie will bring back those memories, as well as make you smile to ourself for all the things they throw in here. But you'd better be quick witted, they'll sneak up on you.

I can only imagine the fun on the set for all in the creation of this tribute to the old Saturday matinee. Tom Berenger's portrayal of the hero in Rustler's Rhapsody is as tongue in cheek as the whole film.

The horse, Wildfire, is reminiscent of all the great old trick horses of the time. I am not quite old enough to remember the Saturday matinee serials at the corner theater, but I am old enough that I watched them on a black and white TV on Saturday afternoons. I would recommend this film because it's not just a great tribute but it is entertaining and you can watch it with your kids!!

This movie was really surprising to me. I thought it was going to be a wacky parody of those cheesy old west movies of early Hollywood. It turned out to be more of A comedic expose/documentary about that film era. That is what made all the more fun to watch! Tom Berenger plays Rex, the singing cowboy, who's function in life seems to be to go from old west town to old west town meeting virtually the exact same type of people and situations to the point where he "knows" whats going to happen before it happens. GW Baily plays the town drunk , turned sidekick of Rex, who follows along with astonishment of Rex's cornucopia of old west lore. The supporting players like Andy Grifith and Mary Lou Henner also make stinging observations about the old west movie clichés. One of my favorites scenes is when the evil underlings of Grifith kill their evil boss henchman and bring his dead body to Grifiths house. Grifith asks the unexpected, but really obvious question, "Why don't you bury him? This is A Home, people live here!". It was really a funny scene. This is not a perfect movie and does have some flaws but overall I recommend watching it. You may be pleasantly surprised at the direction this movie takes. Its not what you think it will be.
