The fact that I am blogging this is crazy to me. I remember seeing the preview in theaters and saying to my boyfriend that he would be seeing this with his guy friends. It just seemed like stupid humor that would gross me out more than crack me up. Then the weekend came, and I had seen everything else. I also really wanted movie theater popcorn so I really had no choice. I can admit when I'm wrong, and my fellow moviegoers, I was dead wrong. I seriously laughed my ass off.
Albert lives during the frontier days in the wild west and hates everything about it. His beloved Louise was the only thing getting this lack luster sheep farmer through the days and she dumps him for the manly and fully mustached, Foy (NPH!!!!!). After all, she needed somebody more rugged and cut out for this whole living on the western frontier thing. Albert, the guy who backed out of a gun fight to save his life, just wasn't cutting it. So now that Albert lost his will to live, he goes through this whole depression thing where he drinks himself silly and becomes slightly suicidal, that is, until the lovely and mysterious Anna enters his world.
Anna and her brother have moved into town to start a farm. Her first meeting with Albert is interesting as he rescues her from a ridiculous bar fight over spilled beer. After that their friendship grows closer as he accepts a dual with Foy in order to get back his Louise. Anna knows her way with a gun and helps Albert to win her back. Albert begins to enjoy the dysfunctional ways of the frontier as he and Anna make fun of it together. Little does Albert know about who the real Anna is.
Anna's husband is the most evil villain in the west and when he finds out his lady, who was supposed to be in hiding, is getting friendly with another man, all hell will break loose and Albert will surely die. When Albert finds out she is married he flees only to realize she was trying to escape a terrible marriage. Anna gives Albert some advice that helps him defeat her husband in the end. Then, just as he realizes his feelings for Anna, he is pursued by Louise. Which gal will he choose?
I seriously loved how much this movie made fun of the west back during the frontier days. I am not into the whole cowboy, country western thing, so seeing this was exactly what I needed. The cast is perfect in this comical rendition of what I would picture it like back then. For a good laugh, you won't regret it.
