Jackie Chan's best American picture to date, breathes fresh life into the virtually dormant comedy-western.

Village Voice
Unstintingly funny -- far more so than the wince-worthy trailer -- owing to Chan's pairing with droll indie eccentric Owen Wilson, as his would-be gunslinger sidekick.

Rolling Stone
Wilson is flat-out hilarious, playing this cowboy like a surfer dude zapped back in time.

This is almost Mel Brooks territory: The frontiersmen think the Chinese are Jews, while the white settlers think it's the Crow Indians who are. Whoosh!

Charlotte Observer
This is one of the few recent westerns that requires you to keep your eyes open and memory engaged.
