Well I can't go along with calling Rancho Deluxe a "buried treasure."  While
that movie had its tolerable moments, the plot was predictable and the pace
was sometimes agonizingly slow.  {Jeff,Beau} Bridges can't act anyway.

Basically, the story focuses on a sparsely populated western ranching 
community and a couple of happy-go-lucky modern day rustlers (including the
Bridges).  Slim Pickens plays an old fashioned detective with an almost
Columboesque bumbling manner and a pretty (but deadly) female assistant.
After spending weeks seemingly without accomplishing anything, Slim solves
the crime and captures the rustlers.

The premise is intriguing, but the production doesn't really live up to
expectations--at least not my expectations.
