It's always a shame when a star dies young, but it seems doubly unfair that someone as likeable and talented as John Candy should have bowed out part-way through the production of this stinker. The idea of having a bunch of lily-livered pioneers quit the Wild West and head home is essentially a good one. Yet director Peter Markle buries it in a quagmire of comic incompetence and dismal slapstick, though to be fair he can't have been helped by the loss of his lead. Second-billed John C McGinley is shamefully wasted as the spotlight falls continuously on the painfully unfunny Richard Lewis. This forgettable comedy western is quite dreadful.
