Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2.5/4 --
The good intentions are often outweighed by the awkward execution, as the film frequently tilts away from reverence and into ridiculousness.

Film Frenzy
...Genuinely funny....Eastwood gets good performances even from the briefest of bit characters...
Variety
Bronco Billy depicts a genuine screen hero who incarnates the place that cowboys occupy in our slow moving dreams.

Spirituality and Practice
With a sense of humor and without any pretense, Bronco Billy offers viewers a melancholic image of what once was exciting to people and is now relegated to a children's playground. [Full Review in Spanish]

Formally speaking, "Bronco Billy" is a turkey.

Product Description:
Clint Eastwood's BRONCO BILLY is a funny and poignant depiction of one man's quixotic devotion to the code of the Old West and traditional American values. Billy (Eastwood) leads his ragtag crew of performers as they travel the countryside, putting on their bare bones Wild West show for sparse crowds. Billy's not an easy man to work for, and he and his bunch barely make a living, but they are pursuing their dreams. When Antoinette Lily (Sondra Locke, in a somewhat shrill performance), a snooty heiress abandoned by her husband, joins the group, their luck seems to run out, and Billy has to find a way to keep them together. As in THE OUTLAW JOSIE WALES, Eastwood plays the patriarch of an ethnically diverse makeshift family. It would be easy to dismiss Billy, to laugh at his corny devotion to outmoded values and old-fashioned entertainment. Like Eastwood himself, Billy's not even a real cowboy. But, gradually, the audience comes to admire him for his fierce devotion to his crew and his insistence on showing the "li'l pards" in his audience not just a good time but also a dream of striving to live life as who they want to be.
