Summary: The Three Buckaroo Stooges
Review: Billy Crystal stars in this mostly western-themed film about country life. Mitch Robbins(Crystal) is radio station employee who plays advertisements. He celebrates his 39th birthday with a few friends including Ed Farillo(Bruno Kirby) and Phil Berquist(Daniel Stern). Earlier,Mitch,Ed,Phil and Phil's wife Arlene return from a vacation in Mexico. At Mitch's birthday party,all hell breaks loose when Nancy,a cashier at a supermarket managed by Phil's father-in-law,shows up at the Robbins' home telling Phil she is pregnant(the Berquists' housekeeper told Nancy where Phil was). Nancy took a pregnancy test while on her break and it came back positive. When mean-spirited Arlene overhears this,she accuses Phil of impregnating Nancy. "I'm her boss and we have a health plan.",Phil tells Arlene. "Get out if this house,you little whore!",Arlene tells Nancy. Phil angrily quipps,"I won't permit you to talk to her that way." "I'll tell my father what you did!",Arlene angrily shouts. Arlene grabs the Robbins' living room phone and retreats to the phone in the Robbins' bedroom after the living room phone cord snaps in half. According to Phil,twelve years of celibacy will make someone crazy. This led to the Berquists' divorce. Mitch's birthday gift from Ed and Phil was a two-week vacation,driving cattle from New Mexico to Colorado. Mitch initially declines because he and his wife Barbara(Patricia Wettig) had planned a vacation in Florida. Barbara decided to not let Mitch join her and the couple's two children in the Florida vacation. Barbara gives Mitch the same gift as what Phil and Ed gave him. While on the cattle drive vacation,Mitch,Phil and Ed meet Curly(Jack Palance),a senior-citizen trail boss. They make a new friend as well,Bonnie Rayburn(Helen Slater). In one scene,Curly shoots dead a female pregnant cow while she's in labor. Mitch "has his third child" named Norman! In another scene,Curly suffers a fatal heart attack while riding a cow. So Mitch,Ed and Phil plan a small memorial service for Curly. At the end of the vacation,the trio return with Norman in tow. Barbara and the Robbins' kids are shockingly surprised. They thought Norman was a dog. Mitch wanted to bring Norman home for at least a little while. Barbara didn't want Norman in the Robbins' home. "We'll put him in a petting zoo so he can be with your mother.",Mitch jokingly tells Barbara. This film was co-written and co-produced by Crystal and is one of 1991's highest-grossing films.

Summary: Likeable from start to finish!
Review: Billy Crystal, Bruno Kirby, Daniel Stern, and Jack Palance shine in this very funny movie about 3 "City Slickers" who are disillusioned with their lives and decide to participate in a cattle drive from New Mexico to Colorado in order to "find themselves." There aren't many comedies which are relevant to real life, and "City Slickers" is one of them. There aren't many comedies which emphasise the importance of life, love, friendship, humour, and acceptance but again, "City Slickers" is one of them. This is one of those rare diamonds of a film which will make us laugh, make us think, and make us take stock of our own lives. You would be extraordinarily hard to please if you didn't find this movie enjoyable.

Summary: Lough Out Loud Funny
Review: Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, and Bruno Kirby take a trip to the old west to unwind. Here they meet some great characters including Curly, which is played by Jack Palance. Jack Palance won a best supporting Actor for his role in this movie and steals every scene he is in. This movie is very fun to watch, a must see!

Summary: That's my phone?
Review: I have seen that video City Slickers like a lot of times. On the Part of Mitch Robbins {Billy Crystal} on his birthday, Phil Berquest {Daniel Stern} and his wife were angry and his wife called home and Phil and his wife had a fight and the phone broke & Mitch yelled, "That's my phone," because he was upset that they broke it. ...I liked this video because they took a vacation on the ranch and they were cowboys. Norman the calf was born.

Summary: Great movie, horrible dvd
Review: I love this movie! Its among my top favorites. However, the DVD [is bad]! One reason, the dubbing. The first half of the movie is fine, but about half way through, the words being spoken by the characters dont match up with their mouth. It looks like a bad Bruce Lee movie! Im not one to complain, but it just kept getting worse! At one point the whole line was almost spoken before the characters mouth started moving! I just baffles me that those responsible for transfering this movie to DVD took no care at all in doing it! I really dont know how this DVD made it to stores without someone noticing this huge fault and trying to make it better. Like I said, this is my favorite movie, I give it the lowest rating for the lack of dubbing quaility!

Review: I think that city slickers is a must see film,I watch it all the
time!
I also have a standup for it!
I saw the 2nd one in the theatre,but I think that this one is better.
my favorite characters were mitch,and norman,because norman was
so cute!one of my favorite scenes was when the 3 guys were talking about
their best and worst day,and mitch says that his father took him
to Yankee staduim,and mickey Mantel hit one out.that part was
interesting to know,because he really did go to a yankee game,
and he did know Mickey Mantel!
There is never a boring scene in this movie,its all pretty
fast and funny.

Summary: From start to finish, it never disappoints!
Review: I would find it hard to believe that anyone currently reading this review hasn't already seen this movie in some form. Whether it be on video, television, or theatre. But if in fact you are some poor soul that has somehow missed out on this movie for the last ten years then this is for you. Billy Crystal, Bruno Kirby, and Daniel Stern are three friends who take these amazing "adventure vacations" each year. But as they grow older they all begin to see their lives moving in directions they never dreamed. So they embark on a cattle drive to recapture their lost youth and "find themselves". What soon ensues is nothing short of hilarious as the three "City Slickers" try to re-create the old west they had always dreamed about. The best thing about this movie is that it is not always funny. Normally for a comedy that would be a disaster, but this is more than a comedy. It is really a statement about life and the problems that all of us face from time to time. As it progresses the movie becomes a wonderful mix of touching drama and sidesplitting hilarity. This movie is ultimately about love and friendship, and living each moment and the importance they have in each of our lives. If you haven't seen it, then stop reading this and get yourself a copy. If you have seen it and are wondering if it's worth owning... then you need to watch it again.

Summary: Chemistry, chemistry, chemistry
Review: I'm not going to review this movie overall. All I will say is that Jack Pallance and Billy Crystal together were brilliant. I have rarely seen such chemistry in a comedy. That said, the other brilliant gesture of this film was Curly's advice, that the meaning of life is "one thing." True. I never thought Hollywood could come up with something so real.
