A half-decade after "Laugh-In" and a half-decade before "Private Benjamin," Goldie Hawn reveals that she not only has beautiful thighs (which the director takes very opportunity to remind us) but that she can act. Hawn herself takes every opportunity to develop a well-rounded character given a script that doesn't invite it - she exhibits a wide range of responses that the director doesn't really ask of any other actor.Otherwise, the film is a confused mess. Beautiful location photography, and not much else. The story-line is a real jumble. If I cared about the characters I might have invested more in following it, but there's no reason to care about these lowlives, they have no direction and no motivation beyond greed.At one point George Segal squeezes Hawn's breasts publicly and exclaims 'honk honk!" First, this is anachronistic (it references automobile horns not yet in use in the movie's culture), second, it is degrading, and third - most importantly - it is not funny. It needs a "topper," some remark that would give it comedic relevance. Director Frank's attempt at a topper is for Segal to repeat the line twice. I am not amused.A botched job, only interesting for Hawn fans.

I liked this movie. It is a bit dated and it does lose the thread a bit at times, but generally is funny and spontaneous. I really wondered if some of the humor was unplanned. For example, when the Fox turns the corner on his horse and falls off. It really looks like this wasn't in the original script but it happened anyway. I particularly liked the song Don't touch my plums and especially when Goldie sings it to the Mormon family. Goldie Hawn is at her finest and suits the role she is playing. Watch it when you want to smile or need cheering up and don't want to think too deeply! We watched this by accident on TV last night and I managed to stay awake all the way through (ask my husband, that's amazing!)

When I had a chance to watch this one, I already had a appreciation for Goldie Hawn. When I finished this film, all I could appreciate in it was Goldie.The comedy was strained at best, mostly terrible. The cast around Goldie is not much support. This film makes many of her other films look much better. I do not understand what about this script caused it to be made.Comedy Westerns had been a vehicle for many Hollywood stars and comedy teams since the 1940's. I understand for this reason why it was made. What I don't understand is why they waste Goldie Hawns Talent with a terrible script. Pee Wee's Playhouse has a better script than this.One thing though, Goldie was a much sexier woman when she was young than her daughter is now. The best scenes in this movie are the ones exploiting that charisma. The rest of it is a sleeper, literally.

Bad acting, bad script, just about bad everything...including Goldie, who I normally like. If you're into seeing Goldie in skimpy clothing or nice Colorado location shots, it might be worth it. Otherwise, stay away.
