  • What A Fun Film

    Rated - 4.0 stars  
    By a customer from Kent,England , 06 Jun 2005

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    All the usual famous cowboys/cowgirls are in this.Great take on the women in the wild west.Follows one character as she lives her life in the west.Gabriel Byrne and Melanie Griffith just clicked on screen which was evident in each scene they did together.I liked this as it wasn't a soppy western with gunfights and brothels,told the story of the characters lives.i disliked Sam Elliots character seemed to be different from all the other westerns i had seen.Well worth watching but you'll need your hankies(if you have a heart).on the downside it is a long film.

  • Buffalo Girls

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By a customer from Lytham St. Annes , 31 Mar 2010
    I thoroughly enjoyed this film but I feel it should be titled Buffalo Boys and Girls as there were mixed lead actors and actresses. It had everthing from 'Madams' etc gunfights, Gambling { with Annia Oakley } adoption, tears and death. This is a great film and a fair reflection of life then

    Very amusing and touching film based on true life. I have had the honour of meeting Calam's great great Neice, in Wyoming. She shud have played the part. Good film very touching and entertaining. Scenery excellent. Surprised to se Riba Mackintyre but she played a good part to as little sure shot

  • Westerns as they should be

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By TopDollar (89 reviews) from North Wales , 25 Nov 2007
    I was pleaantly surprised by this western. The interaction between the characters was very good - lots of humour, a good storyline based on true life, and a strong cast. Angelica Houston is ideal as Calamity Jane, and Melanie Griffiths superb as her friend, the 'hooker with a heart'!

    The scenery is beautiful and the sets are great, makes you feel you are back in the days of the Wild West. Floyd Red Crow Westernam gives a great performance in his role as Calamity's Indian friend. In fact I liked it so much, I bought the DVD the next day!

  • Too shallow

    Rated - 2.0 stars  
    By crispin40 (553 reviews) from Stirling, Scotland , 22 Feb 2006
    Only watched about 10 minutes of this as it was very artificial. It was obvious that the characters were acting. Anjelica Houston should stick to films like The Witches.

    This was the second film we tried tonight and wondered if we weren't in the mood. However, our 3rd choice was excellent so it wasn't us but the films!

  • Tedious in the extreme

    Rated - 1.0 star  
    By a customer from Somerset , 15 Jun 2005
    Deadwood never seemed so dreary !!Bring back Doris Day and Howard Keel in the Calamity Jane and Wild Bill Hickok roles !

    We really rate the acting talents of Gabriel Byrne, Anjelica Huston , Melanie Griffith and wonderful Jack Palance but the tedium of this longwinded 'soap opera' made us switch off in the end. The dog was excellent even though he never seemed to 'age'.
