Amazon.com:
Three middle-age buddies (Billy Crystal, Daniel Stern, Bruno Kirby) facing personal crises decide to sign up for a two-week cattle run for a change of pace. The trail proves a tougher place than anyone thought, and the boss (Jack Palance) is a grizzled taskmaster who doesn't cotton to tenderfoot urbanites. Popular in theaters, the film is both funny and moving, with Crystal giving one of his most complete performances and Palance (who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar) a lot of colorful fun. Director Ron Underwood (Heart and Souls) subtly shifts the tone of the film from broad comedy to poignancy over its running time, and he makes the story's end a bittersweet victory that feels like life as most people know it. --Tom Keogh

Rating:  - Satisfactory, yet nothing special...
One of the biggest `are you kidding me' moments in Oscar history for me has got to be Jack Palance winning the supporting Oscar for his performance in `City Slickers'.

In an effort to find themselves they join a two-week dude cattle drive adventure where they do indeed surpass their former boundaries and find more about who they really are. Jack Palance plays Curly, the imposing, ... Read More
Rating: - almost perfect..except
I ordered a full screen version...but I was sent a widescreen version.
It was for my mom after I bought her first DVD player.
It's one of her 2 favorite movies and I don't have the heart to take it away from her now...she watches it and "Twister" at least 2 times a week. She occassionally asks me what the 2 black lines are from. She's 88 years old, God Bless Her.
Rating:  - City Slickers DVD
