Only two things bothered me about this movie. First, Neil Young's score involved minimal effort. It was really good at first, but became repetitive, and sounded like any random guitarist noodling around while trying out some new effects pedals. Second, the assorted cameos seemed gratuitous. Other than that, I was surprised that I liked this movie as much as I did. A nice blend of funny and moody. Perhaps a bit too self-conscious in its status as a post-modern western, but enjoyable nonetheless.
