Criticism edit

This is an “inconsequential western that tries in vain to poke fun at relevant American genre films; neither entertaining nor funny.”[3] According to the dictionary of international film. The Italian colleagues complain that the film was shot "with little resources and too hasty", although it could have been "more pleasant with more care and attention".[4] Christian Kessler notes that the director's 23rd film is exemplary of "the comedies of the time that attempted to revitalize the already worn-out ways of the local comedy class by adding genre-parodic elements".[5] The film is "reasonably entertaining" despite the non-transferability of the dialect jokes prevalent in the original.
