The Debacle

Poor script and even poorer acting. Two guys doze off while watching a Western on TV, and with cheap special effects get transported back to 1870s Arizona and given a task by some briefly appearing character of rescuing a town from who knows what if they want to return back to their present time. So cheaply produced that when our new cowboys tie their horses up to a post they leave the saddles on for the horses to bake in hot Arizona Sun and don't give them water. And, towns people wear clean new clothes; and have 21st century make-up.

This is truly a good wholesome family movie. Although I read a review strongly criticizing it for lack of realism, I guess he missed that it was a fantasy movie. It is not an action movie, but it moved along well enough to keep my interest. Its not preachy, so anyone can watch it without feeling bad. The acting is not nearly as bad as the usual SyFy channel offerings and the story line made more sense. I think any of the main actors could easily fit in a higher budget movie. The scenery was good, it had nice music. As expected, it ended on a high note. You get what you expected. We really need more decent films like this one. I only demote this one star for the obvious low budget.

I've watched plenty of low budget films, most "Christian" films fall into this category. But this one was pretty decent. Clean, had some funny lines and goofy scenes. Much of the storyline was not plausible but for a decent, family friendly film it was good. The acting, editing and sound was good as well (unlike many low budget films). All in all it was worth the 93 minutes spent watching it.
