Even Cowgirls Get the Blues | Full Movie | Movies Anywhere

Though the director's sensibility worked extraordinarily well when applied to hard-edged subject matter like "Drugstore Cowboy" and even "My Own Private Idaho," combining it with Robbins' flimsy jokiness has resulted in a film whose tedium is painful.

Those interested in looking back in sorrow or amusement had better saddle up fast, because Cowgirls will be hitching out of town fast.

Despite a few ecstatically beautiful sequences, it continues the wayward pretentious streak of Van Sant's last film, My Own Private Idaho, but not its affecting characters.

There are just too many half-cooked ingredients in this utopian stew of a movie.

Pic stays on the surface, without attempting any exploration of painful depths. Result is at best amusing; at worst, uninvolving, often confusing, and sometimes a little boring.
