Review of Where the Buffalo Roam (1980) by Chris G — 21 Mar 2011
Nobody quite does Hunter S. Thompson like Johnny Depp but even though Bill Murray is more Murray then Thompson I still find it amusing. Lambasted by most critics Where the Buffalo Roam is really not all that bad.
It an berief entertaining look @ Thompson's gonzo era but it's not very insightful. I don't think that it's supposed to be though & in that respect I think most critics were demanding too much.
Anyways it's really Peter Boyles show. He really such a great actor & his comedic stuff is unappreciated. He had me laughing in just about every scene that he's in. If Murray had made a serious attempt it could have been even better but on its own it's fine.
