Average Rating: Rating: - Frisco Kid is a delight! This film is a feel-good crowd pleaser! Gene Wilder is superb in his portrayal of a non-worldly, brand new Polish Rabbi shipped off to America and the Wild West. Hidden within the comedic role of the Rabbi is a man of devote faith and sensitivity. Harrison Ford, the cowboy, fills the role of "straight man" to Wilder's top banana presentation. The two make a great team as they travel from New York to San Francisco through the West of the early 1800's. OK, this isn't highly sophisticated comedy. The Academy won't ever give an Oscar for it's drama. It is however, a well done film with good character development and besides, it's just plain fun. My only complaint about this film is that The Frisco Kid isn't in DVD format yet. As soon as it is, I'm trading in my VHS copy. Rating: - Watch this with your best friend. Of the many wonderful perfomances Gene Wilder has given us--Willy Wonka, Young Frankenstein, Blazing Saddles--his character of the rabbi in The Frisco Kid holds the warmest spot in my heart. There is a sweetness and a depth in Avram that we rarely see in combination. There are humor and excitement and some twists that you just don't expect to find in most westerns. The immigrant Avram encounters a mid 19th century America that is both frightening and uplifting. Watch for the different groups and individuals who help and protect him as he makes his way from Philadelphia to San Francisco. Wilder's performance is dead-on from the moment we see him trying to skate (or is it walk) on a frozen pond in Poland. Harrison Ford's outlaw/best friend starts weakly (probably due to the script rather than his performance), but becomes more and more attuned to what Wilder is doing as the two make their way across the country. Watch this movie with your best friend, and don't turn off your set when the closing credits start to roll. The final shot is something special. Rating: - FUNNY! Gene Wilder turns in a hysterical tour de force performance as a bumbling rabbi trying to make his way to San Francisco in the 1850's. Of coarse, he needs a little help from Harrison Ford, who proves he's no slouch at comedy as Wilder's outlaw buddy. Director Robert Aldrich provides us with enough cute humor to make this a family film, but just enough depth and violence to keep adults from feeling it's to sappy (no small feat). If you look behind the laughs, this is a very moving story about a man staying true to his roots despite the obstacles he faces. And if you can't see behind the laughs, they should be enough to keep you entertained anyway.
