Rustlers' Rhapsody tries to challenge the age old rule that you can't satirize the Western, and fails.

Even on the mechanical level in which it was made, the number of jokes that don't work far outnumber the ones that do.

As a 10-minute sketch on Saturday Night Live, it probably would have been dynamite. But at 1 hour, 28 minutes, the picture seems padded.

The basic premise isn’t clearly defined.

What this one lacks is broad-barreled fun, which is the essential element in a spoof.

The producer was David Giler, who once turned out such estimable entertainments as Alien and The Parallax View. Couldn't he have put us all out of our misery? They still shelve movies, don't they?

Very funny. Such an underrated movie. In line with Airplane, Police Academy, The Naked Gun. All gags are played so straight and with such sincerity it's funny and endearing at the same time. Well written, acted, and shot.

A fun concept - "what if" a singing cowboy movie was made today (in this case, the mid 80s) This satirical western hits many of the right notes (pun intended), but the second act kind of hits a lull, but the finale makes for an entertaining payoff. Still, it's always fun to see Marilu Henner as the "Hostess" of the local saloon, and Andy Griffith as the "bad guy" was really fun, too.

This is honestly one of the most underrated comedies of all time and the fact that critics here have given it a 17% score is honestly mind boggling to me. It is one of the most on the nose, self aware, western satires I've ever seen. For me, this movie is right up there with Blazing Saddles. I've never shown this movie to anyone who came out hating it.
