Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: Not so much a real Western as an Old West-themed fashion show. Read more
Rene Rodriguez, Miami Herald: The dumbest, most risible retelling ever made of the exploits of legendary bank robber Jesse James. Read more
Robert K. Elder, Chicago Tribune: The filmmakers have created a dull, one-dimensional pop icon out of James' complex character and legend. Read more
Susan Stark, Detroit News: Brings a lovely sense of discovery to its account of the old stories and legends. Read more
Jane Sumner, Dallas Morning News: The corny script ... intersects only tangentially with history. Read more
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star: Ol' Jesse James has sure seemed a lot of things in a lot of movies: crazy, heroic, desperate, psychotic, villain and victim. But dadburnit if he's ever been this cute. Read more
Elvis Mitchell, New York Times: It would need only a drug casualty to turn into Behind the Music: Jesse James. Read more
Jan Stuart, Newsday: Despite the absence of karaoke cowboys in American Outlaws, there are enough anachronisms of other varieties to make it an unintentionally screwy experience. Read more
Melanie McFarland, Seattle Times: A guilty romp that doesn't take itself seriously. Read more
Eleanor Ringel Gillespie, Atlanta Journal-Constitution: One of those not-bad-not-good pictures. Read more
Kevin Thomas, Los Angeles Times: A handsome and skillful retelling of a legend that imaginatively draws on conventions of both the western and the gangster movie to create an energetic yet thoughtful contemporary action-adventure. Read more
Louis B. Parks, Houston Chronicle: A poor script and lame direction leave most of this Western deader than a dogie at a poisoned watering hole. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: Read more
Entertainment Weekly: The blandification of the puppy-stud Western reaches its nadir. Read more
Kevin Courrier, Globe and Mail: Whitewashes the characters and fudges all the issues by turning a powerful group of desperadoes into all-American heroes. Read more
John Patterson, L.A. Weekly: For the most part it's First Knight Way Out West all the way. Read more
Rex Reed, New York Observer: A big yawn that only reminds us why movie westerns are six feet under and not likely to make a comeback. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: I suppose the way to watch this film, if you feel compelled to watch it by some masochistic tendency you are powerless to control, is to regard it as a comedy. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: When did cowboys become teen pop idols? Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: Picture 1860s Missouri as Ft. Lauderdale during Spring Break and you've got the idea. Read more
Wesley Morris, San Francisco Chronicle: This plot leaves ample room for viewers to sweat the small stuff, like whether Trevor Nunn's score is more Marines ad or deodorant commercial. Read more
Susan Wloszczyna, USA Today: A weak whinny of a horse opera tailor-made for those who can't quite locate Young Guns or The Long Riders in their video store. Read more
Robert Koehler, Variety: Confusing a serving of beefcake for real chow, American Outlaws sadly symbolizes the decline of the Western. Read more
Michael Atkinson, Village Voice: The movie's presumption of ignorance on the audience's part is monumental. Read more
