Leave your thoughts about Support Your Local Sheriff!.
| Seanax.comSean AxmakerGarner is a master playing the easy-going straight man with a mix of wit and practicality... |
| Decent Films GuideSteven D. GreydanusGarner brings a variation on his 'Maverick' persona to this classic satirical Western... does for Westerns what The Princess Bride did for fairy-tale fantasy. |
| The GuardianPaul HowlettAmiable comedy western, with James Garner expanding on his Maverick image as a boom-town sheriff who’d rather use his cunning than his guns. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzVeteran Western director Burt Kennedy shoots a pleasing irreverent parody on the genre. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertSupport Your Local Sheriff is a textbook example of the evil influence TV has on the movies. It's essentially a lousy TV situation comedy dragged out to feature length for no good reason. |
| The New York TimesVincent CanbySUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF, a Western period farce about a town-taming supersheriff, is something designed for sensibilities shaped by "Petticoat Junction" and "Green Acres." |
| eFilmCritic.comBrian MckayClassic comedy-western gem, with fantastic performances from Garner and the supporting cast. Not quite as good as SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GUNFIGHTER, though. |
| User ReviewMonika KAs a kid, would love to see it again; he's the best.... |
| User ReviewjoNate BI love the rules of splitting the shares of gold mining. Brings a clever twist to the good old cowboy sheriffs idea. |
| User ReviewBrian HGreat movie. Classic lines. Do not confuse with the far inferior support your local gunfighter. |
