Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
A poorly focused and rhythmless collection of vignettes, Wagons East! does contain a few funny ideas and some decent performances that simply are not enough to rescue the movie.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Rotten
A stridently unfunny western comedy that is equally lame in its writing and direction.
Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
Rotten
With credits that include such garbage as Hot Dog... The Movie, director and former hockey player Peter Markle displays an utter lack of comic sensibility.
Jeff Shannon, Seattle Times
Rotten
A sunshiney hodgepodge of bad jokes, nice scenery and reverse stereotypes.
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune
