I gotta agree with Trombonehead -- this movie is funny. I suggest fast forwarding through the first 20 minutes and then jumping in when Wallace Beery comes in. He and Barrymore have a hoot playing off of each other. I love both these actors, and I just kept envisioning this two old hams going, "The hell with it. The script is awful. Reagan's a doofus. Let's have fun." I just had to laugh at all of Beery's silliness. I thought I'd hate this movie and almost turned it off. I'm glad I stuck with it, just to see these two old veteran actors have a good time. And, though it's all a bad cliché, I did think that the Mexican Bandito thing was played for humor and a joke on every bad cowboy movie with a Mexican. And Beery just pulled out all the stops with it. Of course, it isn't realistic -- the movie was already bad. The old farts just took the opportunity to make it so bad it's great.
