Review of City Slickers (1991) by Russ B — 01 Jan 2009
Simply, when your down and feeling troubled and you need a helping hand.......
A film that will bring a smile to a sad face and have you shouting out loud.... Yes!
The theme is middle aged blokes dealing with their mid life crisis via a cattle drive, but the film has a wider appeal to anyone who ever looked for the hero inside.
Great musical score, with a nod to the classic western movies and TV shows.
Our unlikely hero Billy Crystal is probably at his best, certainly on a par with when Harry met Sally. He has a unique style of playing the clichés and acknowledging them for being just that. Though the show is almost stolen by Jack Palance as the initially uncompromising trail boss.
Possibly my favourite film of all time.
