'City Slickers' is must-see for people with mid-life crises
By Amy Robinson Kansan movie reviewer
Kansan movie reviewer
Sherman T. Poiter of M"A'SH"
4077 says that any good movie must
have three things: horses, cowboys
and bears would have loved
"City Slickers."
That pretty much says it all.
Mitch (Billy Crystal), Ed (Bruno Kirby), and Phil (Daniel Stern, replacing Rick Moranis) star as three men with various crises and emotional problems who periodically go on macho, male-fantasy vacations to work out their lives. This time, they decide to go to a ranch in New Mexico where the guests drive cattle to Colorado. In Premiere magazine, Crystal described "City Slickers" as a "coming of middle-age movie."
There are too many spots in the film where the comedy grinds to a halt for morose philosophizing and whining over the characters' troubled lives, as when Crystal's wife "thirtysome季"s’long-suffering Patricia Wettig) tells him to go away and “find his smile.”
"City Sickers" was written by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel and directed by Ron Underwood.
At one point, the three leads express shock that the cattle have been sold for slaughter. What did they think people did with cattle? Are the filmmakers a bunch of vegetarians with a covert plan to undermine the U.S. beef industry by making cattle seem like pets?
"City Slickers" is fairly funny — not a constant stream of laughs, no big belly laughs, just a pleasant little comedy. Quite a bit of action as well, lots of cows. Lots of scenery, including Helen Slater. Jack Palance has a pivotal role as the intimidating trail boss. Inoffensive, harmless, it never takes any real chances with the characters or the audience.
By the end of the film, all is sunshine and roses — of course. Rather improbably though, consider deep roots in the character's problem.
Any attempt at criticism deeper than this would be like breaking a butterfly on a wheel.
Random notes on other flicks in town:
"Stone Cold" was free on a double-bill with "City Slickers". I think I paid too much. I want two hours of my life back, and I want it now. The
MOVIES
movie stars Brian Borsworth as a cop who infiltrates a bunch of homicidal bikers. That pretty much says it all. The ending is a low-rent rip of "Die Hard" that takes place in the Mississippi Statehouse. Liberals will get a sick thrill at watching a really conservative Southern district attorney and the entire Mississippi Supreme Court get blown away Favorite line: Lance Henriksen, the Mansonees lead bailer to the department. I'm amazed I want to tell you what my daddy told me just before he died Be careful with that gun, son, it's loaded."
"What About Bob"?; My friend Kevin says, "Everybody else liked it."
"Only the Lonely": Kevin says, "If you like John Candy . . ."
"Soapdish": A film about soap operas by people who don't know why other people like them. Hammy performances save the weak script. Barely.
"Dances With Wolves": Over rated, overlong, overly pretentious.
"Switch": OK, but "Victor/for"
did the sex-control thing
character's sexuality, but Elen
Bartkin is fantastic as usual.
"FX2": Even less plausible and coherent than the original, but the effects are clever. Entertaining nonsense.
"Silence of the Lams": Except for the use of a stereotypically gay man as a serial killer, it's a great psychiko flick with a feminist slant. Jode Foster and Anthony Hopkins in the closest screen romance in a long time.
"Truth or Dare": Fascinating documentary about Madonna with great concert sequences. Not exactly the unvarnished truth, but that rare portrayal of a tough, independent in control of her life and her career.
"Thelma & Louise": Fabulous road movie with a genuine female friendship. Men continue to influence these women, to make the choices for them, no matter how hard they fight against it. Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis continue to make savvy choices in offbeat roles.
