The Spanish wild man Alex de la Iglesia delivers a disappointingly well-behaved film with this sentimental comedy about a boy's reunion with his lovably eccentric grandfather.

Overview
Almería, Tabernas desert, Spain, 2002. Texas Hollywood is a dilapidated and dusty town where Western movies have not been shot for decades. Julián Torralba and his partners, veteran film stuntmen, survive there, recreating pathetic action scenes for the pleasure of the few foreign tourists who visit the isolated region.

Bizarre, bawdy and totally enjoyable.
Robert Dominguez, New York Daily News

It thinks it's cute, but it's as charming as an old drunk going on about how he knew Eastwood back in the day.
Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times

800 Bullets has funny moments, but it also has a lot of drag time.
V.A. Musetto, New York Post

Alex de la Iglesia's charming comedy celebrates the resilient power of dreams, memories, and the movies.
