| Creative LoafingMatt BrunsonThis follow-up has trouble getting out of the gate but eventually hits its stride. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThis genial Western comedy is a disappointing successor, not a sequel, to Support Your Local Sheriff. |
| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumStill makes me laugh. It's Garner's Maverick transplanted. |

| User ReviewStephen Bbetter than the first one, maybe just because of jack elam, i dont know, but i love it! |
| User ReviewDonald WThis is the second of James Garner's "Support Your Local" western series. This one is the funnier of the two. This movie has a story and it is a comedy Western and not a spoof of the Western Movie. The character is again a version of the Maverick character he played in the Maverick TV series. I first saw this movie with my cousin at the old movie theater in downtown McAlester, Oklahoma. We laughed so hard our sides hurt. Then we laughed the entire walk back to his house. The best lines all had the word "ass" in them. Of course they were talking about donkeys. Suzanne Pleshette was great in this movie as the wild daughter. Then at the end Jack Elam claims to go on to be a big star in Italian Westerns talking to the audience. It's set in Purgatory, Colorado which is a real town in Colorado. Of course this is a fictional version and not the real Purgatory. |
