Get ready to laugh in the saddle with the riotous comedy feature go west, directed by Steven Meek and Jeremy Warner. Narrated by Sean Astin, it tells a tale of treacherous t-hies involving a crazy train happily traveling in a certain (guess which) direction. There is the lovely Miss Cora (Mallory Everton), whose body is so chronically ill that blood and feces regularly escape. Her sister, the widow Evelyn (Natalie Madsen), receives a letter telling her that her teenage daughter in Oregon plans to marry a notorious outlaw. They both need to get west, so they join Alja (Stephen Meek), who is going to teach a school outside.
Leading their train is Captain Evander Lilienqvist (Matthew Mize), who will guide them, as well as Hank (Jeremy Warner), Terence (Stacey Harkey), Angus (James Perry) and Percival (Adam Berg). However, our heroic trio forgot to pay half a cent for their supplies, so store owner Robert Paylor Gladstone (Whitney Cole) closes the store and chases after them with her assistant Chesterton (Jason Gray). But the West is waiting with bated breath to deliver all 32 flavors of calamity on our poor pioneers. Will Evelyn arrive in time to stop the wedding, or will the Bezos celebrate the entrails of their hope?
“…Her teenage daughter in Oregon plans marry a notorious outlaw.”
Western comedies have a notoriously difficult time capturing eyeballs. Even the ever-rare fans of the genre don’t usually relish a jokey version of ha-ha. Hot saddles It’s the best ever, but outside of it, you’re stuck with Sunday reruns Support your local sheriff Or the lows of late night viewing of A million ways to die in the West. The rest of the territory is littered with videos that sound childish, like The apple dumpling gang Terence Hill’s Saga or Foxes. Most modern attempts have come and gone without much notice, even those of great comedians.
However, against all odds, the fierce folks at Studio C, a veteran comedy troupe that grew out of BYU, not only survived but triumphed with go west. That’s because everyone involved is funny. The first two minutes until the opening credits will make you laugh at your guts. The cast and crew pick these guts off the floor and use them to jump rope.
