City Slickers / USA / 1991

One of those films that sneaks up on you- on the surface it’s a rather obvious buddy comedy, with all the requisite wisecracking, scrapping, bonding, learning and growing that entails. But the film exudes an unexpected pull, forcing to you to actually start caring what happens to these people, whether you want to or not. It’s largely the fault of the cast- Bruno Kirby and Daniel Stern were never better, ably backing Billy Crystal playing squarely in his comfort zone. The script is witty and flawlessly constructed, peppered with great jokes and moments of genuine insight.
