Review of Maverick

Maverick (1994)
Terrible Movies of the OLD West...
17 May 2004
You will think this movie is funny, I suppose, if you couldn't get enough of "Love Boat" and "Three's Company." Utterly lame from start to finish, Donner is surely the worst of the worst in action comedy, and owe his fame to the kind of folks who kept the Bob Hope Specails going.

Vilmos Zingmond, one of the true heroes of American film, makes

everything look great. Randy Newman participates in something as venal and

crass as anything he ever made fun of with a satirical song. It's interesting to watch the utterly miscast Jodie Foster, though. As for Mel, he better hope the almighty is very forgiving when it comes to self-indulgent, stink bomb would be comedys. Great old already dead guys pop

up: Dub Taylor, James Colburn, Bert Remson.
