I found this to be a surprisingly enjoyable American Western style film.
The story was actually quite decent, with suspense, silliness, and stereotypes.
I particularly liked the stereotypes, even though they were over the top. Some parts of the film were ridiculous, but hey, it's in the title.
I was very surprised, as I find some Adam Sandler films to be pretty stupid.
Some reviews seem to be quite harsh on the stereotypes used, but stories and life are both boring without them. Everyone stereotypes everyone, and it's entertaining to see it highlighted by others or by stories and films - no matter what you profess externally.
You could even say the stereotypes were subverted to an extent: The hick had some poignant thoughts and ideas, the Indians weren't drunkards and had some modern ideals, the black was creative and worked, the women were 'strong', the white men were baddies.
I suggest not getting caught up in political correctness to the point of illness, and just watch this film as an independent piece of art/entertainment, instead of feeling compelled to judge it badly out of obligation or guilt. I think you'll be happier if you do, and might actually enjoy the story as well as the 'incorrectness' of the humour.
