Much of its strength comes from the central clash between Jackie's indomitable energy and Wilson's knowingly anachronistic cool, while lots of visual and verbal gags keep things whistling.

This is almost Mel Brooks territory: The frontiersmen think the Chinese are Jews, while the white settlers think it's the Sioux who are. This is equal-opportunity nuttiness, and there's a method to it.
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle

Unstintingly funny.
Jessica Winter, Village Voice
Rotten
It's hard to imagine why anyone of any age would find other elements of this movie's attempt at a comic text even mildly amusing.
Susan Stark, Detroit News

Gough and Millar pepper the story with enough silly gags and droll one-liners that it's easy enough to stay alert between Chan's chest kicks and balletic twirls.
