Leave your thoughts about Wagons East!.
| VarietyTodd McCarthyEveryone's creative burners were on low heat for this woeful outing. |
| Baltimore SunStephen WiglerThe jokes tend to be watered-down versions of the tasteless kind that enlivened the Naked Gun movies and the early films of Mel Brooks. |
| South Florida Sun-SentinelRoger HurlburtAlthough a comedy rife in lively characters, Wagons East! affords star John Candy one of the poorest, drabest, and thoroughly unfunniest roles of his career. |
| Seattle TimesJeff ShannonWith credits that include such garbage as Hot Dog... The Movie, director and former hockey player Peter Markle displays an utter lack of comic sensibility. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonA sunshiney hodgepodge of bad jokes, nice scenery and reverse stereotypes. |
| Philadelphia Daily NewsGary ThompsonAwful. A candidate for one of the year's worst movies. |
| Los Angeles TimesChris WillmanA typically rickety vehicle, just dumb enough that it actually submerges Candy's sweet, perky persona in what's basically a sullen, grizzled straight-man role. |
| Tulsa WorldDennis KingThe jokes here sound a lot funnier than they play. |
| Chicago ReaderJonathan RosenbaumA stridently unfunny western comedy that is equally lame in its writing and direction. |
| Washington PostRita KempleyA ghastly western parody that does not honor Uncle Buck's memory, but exploits his last, pitiable appeal for laughter. |
