Review of Doc West

Doc West (2009 TV Movie)
3/10
Corny Italian Made-for-TV Western
20 December 2015
Very, very corny. The plot, dialogue - and even the music - is trite and juvenile. It is hard to watch adults act and speak like 10 year-olds -- although 10 year-olds may have been the intended audience. Much of the acting is barely acting. It's as if Buster Keaton directed a western, tongue-in-cheek. If this were a TBS western, it would be a 'B' TBS western. And then there are the slapstick and spaghetti western moments.... After looking it up and finding out that it is indeed an Italian made-for-TV western - well, that explained a lot. The production values are high though, no suffering there. I watched it, mostly. I had Triggerman - a sequel - queued up to watch after this one. I didn't bother.
