El Diablo

Rating:
Summary: Thoroughly Enjoyable Fun
Review: I began watching this movie because there was simply nothing else on, and I like Lou Gossett Jr & Anthony Edwards. About 15 minutes into the film, I was hooked and really enjoying the ride. This is a very clever, witty, and funny screenplay, full of jokes both subtle and not, and it has a score that is nearly flawless, accentuating both action and comedy. There are a lot of laugh-out-loud moments, and some truly unique comedic situations. In many respects, the whole film reminded me of "The Frisco Kid" with Harrison Ford and Gene Wilder, another of my favorite Western comedies.

Anthony Edwards (Billy Ray Smith) plays a tenderfoot schoolteacher prone to falling off and accidentally shooting horses. One of his students is kidnapped by the stunningly attractive El Diablo ("Star Trek: Voyager's" Robert Beltran,) and Edwards sets out to find the girl and bring her home. His misadventures with a band of misfit outlaws brings a lot of laughs and even some tender moments.

With only minor bad language and some blood here and there, this is a movie the whole family can enjoy. I highly recommend it, and plan to watch it again and again.

Review: The unlikely pairing of Louis Gosset Jr. and Anthony Edwards makes this movie intensly engaging. These actors and their supporting cast take the viewer on a wild ride through the old west as a mild mannered school teacher "beats the devil". The rescuing of a lovely young school girl from the hands of a very sexy Mexican bad guy, is done with humor through the awkwardness of the rescuer Billy Ray, and lots of help from savy gun slinger Louis Gosset Jr.and his wonder horse Rio. Though this movie was made for cable TV it sacrificed nothing in quality. El Diablo is well cast, funny, sweet, action packed, and very worthwhile.

Summary: Love It.
Review: This is one heck of a fun movie. You can tell from the beginning that all of the main stars (and most of the supporting cast) are having fun in their roles. There are lots of great jokes, including an recurring one about a horse... I hope that if you see it you enjoy it as much as I did.

Review: This is one of my favorite movies ... I love it! BUT, I returned the DVD after finding out that it is not made in Widescreen or Dolby Digital. I know .. I should have looked first, but I assumed.:( Why does anyone even bother to make a DVD in Full Screen - HiFi? A tape is almost as good. This movie, and dozens more that I know of, deserve much more.

Review: This is one of my favorite movies. It pokes fun at the legends of the Old West without being broody. HBO pictures at its best.

Review: This is the first western I've seen where the black man wasn't regulated to the role of comic relief, stupid sidekick or cook. It's was refreshing to see Lou Gossett in a movie of this type. I feel he brought a touch of realizm to this, let's face it even the bad guys wear white hats. I hope to see many more like this in the future, but knowing hollywood I probably won't. Oh yeah some parts of this movie was funny as all get out
