Jack Nicholson is hilarious in this underrated comedy Western.
Nicholson does a markedly better job with the material than anyone could have expected.
Goin' South is a gritty Western with plenty of spunk.
An enjoyable off-beat Western.
With the Nicholson signature, it keeps on rolling, at least for the first hour and change before the story moves in the wrong direction.
I like that Doc Brown and Claira are together again in the old west. Jackie boy does a fun job as well.
