A droll New Zealand parody with a tone so deadpan it becomes laugh-out-loud funny.

Beauty and the Beast meets Sergio Leone in this amusing Western import.
Michael Rechtshaffen, Hollywood Reporter
Rotten
The film's antipodean locales provide plenty of uncharted territory, vast expanses of untamed land that offer endless opportunity but little guidance. A man could get lost out there, and Wallis does.
Sam Adams, AV Club

Good for Nothing has a nice comic sense of the brushfire eruptions of Western violence...
