Plot Summary
Larry and Vaughn have been long time friends, but Vaughn has never felt like he was worth much of anything, especially after he gets laid off from his job. Larry, on the other hand, is overconfident in himself and has many ideas of what he should be doing, such as rescuing damsels in distress. However, neither of them could have expected to be transported back in time to a Western town in need of heroes. If Larry and Vaughn can save the town, they will have completed their quest, but if they do not, they will be trapped in history forever.
Production Quality (2 points)
Surprisingly, a lot of time and money was put into this production. This is shown in the good video quality, camera work, and audio quality. Though the soundtrack is a bit silly and is sometimes too loud, the sets, locations, and props are excellently constructed and utilized for this genre. However, there are some awkward cuts and transitions that are likely included to make the movie ‘goofy.’ However, on the whole, this is an above average production that does not fit with the rest of the film.
Plot and Storyline Quality (0 points)
From the beginning to the end, this appropriately-named film is trying way too hard to be funny with cringeworthy comedy moments and eye-rolling escapades. Not only is the premise completely absurd, but it is full of cheesy Western elements and other asides that make no sense at all. The Christian message is forced, cheesy, and empty. This ridiculous story feels like it has been made for the sake of being made, since it has basically no purpose at all. The characters are dumb due to the half-hearted dialogue, not to mention the fact that the villain concept is very stupid. Essentially, there’s really nothing good to say about this plot except that it was good when it was over.
Acting Quality (1 points)
Besides the absurd self-casting and acting (Joshua Zirger from Fenced Off should have never been cast again), the cast members over-play and overdo everything. Line delivery is drawn out, and emotions are laughable. Though there are some okay moments, most sequences from this cast are annoying as they tend to make fools of themselves. Unfortunately, there’s not much good to say about this film.
Conclusion
Basically, this movie is a debacle. Whether or not they intended it to be so appropriately named is beside the point. Making this sort of comedy that’s in your face and completely obvious is never a winning idea. Also, the childish time travel notions and cliched Western tropes are very old and worn out. The only advice that can be offered here is to try something totally different next time.
Final Rating: 3 out of 10 points
