There's no shortage of talent in The Frisco Kid, but it's the wrong talent for the wrong material.

New York Times
Rating: 2/5 --
A weakly scripted, largely unfunny comedy-western intermittently helped by Gene Wilder's then-considerable charm.

TV Guide
The Frisco Kid just misses being very good, perhaps because although Wilder is funny and endearing, we never quite believe in the character he plays.

Rating: 3/4 --
It's a not a great movie and there's plenty of room for improvement, but thanks to Wilder, Ford and a dose of nostalgia, I had fun revisiting it after all these years.

Three Movie Buffs
Frisco Kid remains a series of set pieces, however, and not a cohesive film.

Rating: 2/4 --
The Wilder character has a sweetness, a niceness, that's interesting for the character but doesn't seem to work with this material.

Chicago Sun-Times
Rating: 2/5 --
A comedy drama that isn't as comic as it thinks it is, nor as dramatic as it should be.

Product Description:
In Robert Aldrich's hysterical comedic Western THE FRISCO KID, a sweetly innocent Polish rabbi, Avram Belinsky (Gene Wilder), travels through 1850s America toward his new congregation and wife in San Francisco. Along the way, he forms an uneasy alliance with an inept bank robber, Tommy (Harrison Ford). As Avram teaches Tommy about the Torah, Tommy instructs Avram on how to handle a gun, and the two cut a meandering, pratfall-filled path across the wild West, encountering Indians, settlers, and merciless outlaws. Aldrich (TOO LATE THE HERO, WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE'), a master of the penetrating psychodrama, the rousing war saga, and the icy, violent noir, here slips the standard Western concoction a dizzying, hilarious mickey of slapstick humor with his two feckless protagonists, played with gusto and perfect timing by Wilder and Ford.
Description by Warner Home Video:
Frisco Kid, The
It's 1850 and new rabbi Avram Belinski sets out from Philadelphia toward San Francisco. Cowpoke bandit Tom Lillard hasn't seen a rabbi before. But he knows when one needs a heap of help. And getting this tenderfoot to Frisco in one piece will cause a heap of trouble - with the law, Native Americans and a bunch of killers.
Gene Wilder and Harrison Ford are one feisty team as rabbi and rescuer in this rough-'n'-ready romp that rivals Wilder's earlier Blazing Saddles in Wild West hilarity. Director Robert Aldrich is a seasoned hand at blending roughhouse and laughter, as fans of his earlier The Dirty Dozen and The Longest Yard will attest. With a full posse of screen talents, The Frisco Kid rides tall in the comedy saddle.
