Many of the character exchanges are priceless (including a discussion on how to properly program a VCR), and the performances are uniformly fine.

City Slickers is one cattle drive you won't want to miss.

City Slickers is really about how the West can never be more than a dream to contemporary urban Americans. With high comic style, it shows us what a lovely dream that is.

The movie begins as a mildly amusing comedy about spoiled city brats taking a cattle drive before turning into a serio and predictable tale about mid-life crisis and male camaraderie.
