criticism
The film, according to “Segnalazione Cinematografiche”, “uses the personalities and scenes of the Western to fit into the series of recent films, which, in the tradition of picaresque novels, allow bizarre couples to act with an enormous amount of humorous scenes and enormous simplicity of direction . ”The critic, however, criticizes the film's moral for emphasizing the religious elements in a vulgar environment. Christian Keßler praised: "The film benefits from a good book" and states that the two main actors are "a well-coordinated double." In contrast, the lexicon of international films judged : "Long-winded, witty and tasteless spaghetti western parody."
