Maverick Reviews
Top Critic
There can be little doubt that a whole new generation is about to discover the charm, wit and fun of Maverick.
A financially successful exercise in target-marketing, but not much of a movie.
At almost every turn, Maverick adds sly comic episodes.

The first lighthearted, laugh-oriented family Western in a long time, and one of the nice things about it is, it doesn't feel the need to justify its existence. It acts like it's the most natural thing in the world to be a Western.

Affectionate, amiable, eager-to-please, in a TV-movieish sort of way.
Maverick may be as close as anything comes to a perfect summer movie (as opposed to a perfect movie).

A gaudy reincarnation of the TV series with Mel Gibson, Jodie Foster and James Garner flashing diamonds, breaking hearts and clubbing cliches damn near to death.
