City Slickers is Billy Crystal’s best movie. It is the story of a guy who goes on a cattle drive with his two best friends in search of his smile in the middle of a midlife crisis. Bruno Kirby and Daniel Stern are great costars, and Jack Palance secured his legacy as a badass for a whole new generation. Pay attention to Billy Crystal’s son, played by little Jakey Gyllenhaal. Yeardley Smith, the voice of Lisa Simpson, also makes an appearance as Phil’s young lover.
Lots of great moments as the title city slickers try to adjust to cowboy life and they embark on a paid vacation to experience a real life cattle drive. Shit gets real, and Billy Crystal must rise to the occasion and lead Norman and his fellow cows to their destination.
It is a heartwarming movie. Funny and true, something that you can watch with your family or your friends. I think you are legally obligated to watch this if you stumble upon it when channel surfing.
