[An] anemic Blazing Saddles-wannabe.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 22, 2013

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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | May 22, 2013

A stridently unfunny western comedy that is equally lame in its writing and direction.

| May 22, 2013

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.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 22, 2013

A sunshiney hodgepodge of bad jokes, nice scenery and reverse stereotypes.

| Original Score: 1/4 | May 22, 2013

A typically rickety vehicle, just dumb enough that it actually submerges Candy's sweet, perky persona in what's basically a sullen, grizzled straight-man role.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 22, 2013

Everyone's creative burners were on low heat for this woeful outing.

Full Review | Feb 23, 2012

[A] broken-down nag of a movie.

| Original Score: D | Sep 7, 2011

In what purports to be a comedic spin on the wagon-train Western genre, John Candy is sadly almost unrecognisable with a scruffy beard and long hair.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 3, 2009

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 24, 2007

The humour is sufficiently scattershot to hit the mark once or twice, but basically a no-brains comedy.

| Jan 26, 2006

Wagons East! has the distinction of being Candy's final film, and it is dedicated to his memory. That, unfortunately, is its only distinction.

Full Review | May 20, 2003

One of the least amusing comedies I've ever seen.

| Original Score: 0.5/4 | Jan 1, 2000

A ghastly western parody that does not honor Uncle Buck's memory, but exploits his last, pitiable appeal for laughter.

| Jan 1, 2000

Worst of all, the film devotes the time between gags to schmaltzing up the characters with attempts at tenderness and drama.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 1, 2000
