Movie Reviews

Washington Post - 8/10 by Gary ArnoldRobert Aldrich is an awesomely inappropriate choice to direct an ethnic Western comedy. Nothing in the material appears to stimulate -- or profit from -- Aldrich's erstwhile proficiency with violent or cynical entertainments.
Variety - 7/10 by Variety StaffFrisco Kid remains a series of set pieces, however, and not a cohesive film.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 7/10 by Ken HankeRobert Aldrich's penultimate film is an easygoing work of some considerable charm that relies far too much on ethnic humor to sit quite as comfortably as it might like.
Movie Metropolis - 7/10 by John J. PuccioThe Frisco Kid made me laugh several times and smile often... I'd say that makes it at least a mildly successful film and a fairly enjoyable one, too.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 6/10 by Dennis SchwartzAbsurd Western spoof, that relies almost solely on its ethnic brand of humor to get over.
Combustible Celluloid - 6/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonAldrich was a man's man director; he could direct black comedy, but he had no idea how to handle the straightforward, earnest brand on display here.
Bangitout.com - 6/10 by Jordan HillerThe Frisco Kid is, all pratfalls and tuchus jokes aside, the quintessential "Torah "movie.
Newsweek - 5/10 by James BakerThere's no shortage of talent in The Frisco Kid, but it's the wrong talent for the wrong material.
Chicago Sun-Times - 5/10 by Roger EbertThe Frisco Kid has a certain softness at its center. The Wilder character has a sweetness, a niceness, that's interesting for the character but doesn't seem to work with this material. It's really nobody's movie. The screenplay has been around Hollywood for several years, and Aldrich seems to have taken it on as a routine assignment.
People Magazine - 4/10 by People StaffThough Robert Aldrich can be a capable director of action yarns (The Dirty Dozen, The Longest Yard), one would never guess it after sitting through this aimless, interminable (122 minutes) mess.
