All of the guys on the expedition are dumb, and they say and do dumb things in dumb ways, dumbly.

This 1998 comedy set in the early American west isn't unwatchable, just bad.

All we're left with is a lame script and dithering direction, a lethal combination.
David Kronke, Los Angeles Times

Those hallmark Farley situations, when he bursts into apoplexy over some challenge or outrage, seem unconvincing here. As for Perry, he doesn't show nearly enough charm or ego to be of interest.
