Just a really good time. Plenty of chuckles and enough fun twists to leave you smiling - and sometimes, brother, that's all you need.

A perfect film for having on at the bar with the sound off. Hi-jinks and action set pieces make this perfect for almost paying attention to. Why the low rating than? Whelp, I tried paying attention.

Maverick is a very humorous and original western. Mel Gibson plays the title character, a charismatic, card playing gunslinger, and he turns out to be a really enjoyable hero to watch. James Garner, James Coburn, and an excellent Jodie Foster as a conning femme fatale make for a terrific supporting cast. Maverick is extremely entertaining and rewatchable. Awesome!

If anyone was going to reprise the role Garner made famous, it had to be Gibson, and he did it masterfully. Well cast, well written, and well acted all around (especially Foster). A great romp through the old west. This movie is on the opposite end of the scale from Wild Wild West.

Absolutely hilarious, and yes it's a western. It has the same humor as the Lethal Weapon movies and the unusual setting for a comedy going for it. If you haven't seen it then see it immediately.

How many Westerns can be described as genial, good-natured, and engaging? This is among the best of the sub-sub genre of the lighthearted, lovable Western. Mel Gibson has never been more good-humored and charming (!!), and there is genuine chemistry between him and Jodie Foster, playing a fellow gambler. The supporting cast is uniformly good, especially Graham Green as a "civilized savage". He is Bret Maverick's con-frère (so to speak) - his soul-brother, friend, and partner in crime.
