From my Bad 90s Movies marathon, part 2 of 8.



City Slickers, 1991. Three New Yorkers go on a cattle drive.

Directed by Ron Underwood. Written by Lowell Ganz & Babaloo Mandel. Starring Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern & Bruno Kirby.

Concept: 0/4 (Terrible)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 3/4 (Good)
Pacing: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 1/4 (Bad)
Subjective Rating: 5/10 (Indifferent, 2/4). Another bad 90s movie that's surprisingly painless to watch. (Hopefully that will hold out for the rest of the marathon.) It hits you over the head with a hammer to pound in its philosophy, but it's coming from a good place. And some of the humor works. Most of the more mediocre scenes can be greatly improved by imagining they feature Mike Wazowski instead of Generic Billy Crystal Character.
Objective Rating (Average): 1.9/4 (Eh)
