[A] almost refreshing for its total lack of ambition.

Reviews for Texas Rangers
...plays like it was led to slaughter in the editing room after being taken away from a director who'd read "Westerns for Dummies.

A real loser, lock, stock and barrel.
11/20/08
Large cast is uniformly fine with tongue-twisting, pulpy dialogue, though pic presents only brief flashes of what look to be fully realized characterizations jettisoned at some point during production or post.

Top CriticIf you like most Western films, you'll probably enjoy Texas Rangers -- it's slightly above average in the genre -- but if you aren't a fan of Westerns, this one certainly won't sway your opinion.

Although it's not the worst western ever made (The Terror of Tiny Town will forever hold that title), it is one of the most mediocre, falling prey to more cliches than you can shake a six-gun at.
12/03/01
This is one bland and cheesy Tex-Mex burrito of a movie.
12/06/01
The cows have it hard in Texas Rangers (a.k.a. Dude, Where's My Cattle?).
11/30/01
As dull as its title.
05/10/02
Plays as if the script pages had been tossed in the air and randomly assembled.
12/03/01
The film has very little energy and originality.
08/07/08
A bit of a mess, but it's not unenjoyable and it boasts a kind of absurd sincerity that's actually rather appealing.
09/04/04
A hip, cool western featuring some of today's hottest young stars.
05/10/02
Wish it had a few other things, you know, like an adult sensibility, a closer allegiance to the truth, and maybe a little concern for how the English of 1875 was spoken.
12/05/01
Call it Dude, Where's My Horse?
03/10/03
Just a lame cowboy movie that doesn't warrant your attention. Or mine.
12/08/01
Brings nothing new or interesting to the genre.
12/03/01
Texas Rangers is yet another such mediocre cinematic exercise: bullet- and cliche-ridden, shallow in characterization, and unrelentingly dull in its storytelling.
12/03/01
A documentary on baseball's Texas Rangers and their last-place season would have been more interesting.
