The humor is too throwaway when it isn't laid on with a trowel.

An underrated anti-western about modern-day cattle rustlers.

There's nothing so hapless as a movie made in the wrong style, especially when the director doggedly insists on that style to the bitter end.

A funny movie set in contemporary Montana that is rich in oddball characters and a light satirical touch

Surprise: Frank Perry kept his wits about him long enough to make this mildly watchable 1974 film about the modern west.
