The Cowboy Way (1994)
I found this VHS tape at a thrift store...
...and boy did it not completely disappoint thanks to the fast forward button. Woody Harrelson saved this movie from being a complete unholy cacophony of "cowboy" chaos. Keifer's lines in the script were just bad and never funny but I suppose this played a good contrast to Woody's goof ball character. There are comedic scenes which cut straight to a sweatshop/human trafficking subplot without any transition so it feels like this was just poorly edited.
You are able to fast forward through over half of the movie, especially the non-dialog bits and this movie could have easily been cut to 20 minutes long.
The ending extension-cord-lasso train death was well worth waiting the 1.5 hours of subpar story telling.
There was also a surprising cameo by Rob Moran as the bartender...I am unsure why he was reprising his role from Dumb and Dumber as they came out the same year or if he was just at the top of cast agents list to play a bartender that year.
Meet Prince Charming (1999)
I found this VHS at a thrift store...
...and I feel like that is the only way now that anyone would find/discover this film. It is quite unfortunate this is such an unknown film these days and I don't believe it is on any streaming services. Honestly they did a good job of simultaneously showing 2 story lines of the main characters (Carrere & Charvet) separately. Then tying both characters story lines together to see how they would meet keeps you intrigued. There are some great Y2K technology scenes and great acting by Tia(🔥🔥🔥). David's character is written as way too much of a goof ball which I feel is kind of the main downfall of the film. The blatant product placement is awesome- "I'll have a Bud". Overall an OK watch if you have this VHS lying in your stack of movies as it has some good moments.
