 | this is a great western with a surprise ending. Shirley McLaine steal's the show a little bit in my opinion but dont let that lead you to believe that there was a poor performance by Eastwood. He plays his classic rough around the edges, pancho wearing, in it for the money, good guy. if your an eastwood western's fan dont miss a chance to snag a copy of this. |

| Classic western fare from Clint Eastwood. Entertaining and stimulating. Good action and funny scenes. |

| All through this movie we are led to believe that the Shirley MacLaine character is a nun. At the end, it is revealed that she wasn't at all, she was only pretending. So the whole movie ends up being a lie. It makes you feel like you've wasted your time. Lousy. |

| Clint and the West is like pizza--all edible, some better than others. Vintage Clint in action, especially his laconic saunter through progressively more dangerous scenes, but he and Shirley don't work. First, there's the problem of her pale, fleshy, freckled back in an early scene, which you're reminded of each of the several times Clint awkwardly announces how beautiful she is. Although I've never really gotten the Shirly McLaine appeal, it also seems Clint has gotten better with romantic scenes as he's aged. You can contrast him here or in any of the Sondra Locke movies with his scenes with Rene Russo in In the Line of Fire. Anyway, worth snagging on TiVo, but questionable as a DVD purchase. |
| Rating | | | Date | November 14, 2004 | | Summary | We make a good team | Content
| In an inspired bit of casting, sexy and effervescent Shirley MacLaine is cast against tough and laconic Clint Eastwood. The result is a frothy little frontier romance that is two-thirds wonderful. The last third, when TWO MULES FOR SISTER SARA returns to its action roots and involves us in a long rebels versus the establishment battle scene, is more an intrusion than a culmination. I would have liked twenty more minutes of Eastwood-MacLaine and hang the rotten French colonial garrison.
This is a funny and straight-forward love story that bears comparison to the best teamings in action history; TWO MULES doesn't embarrass itself when set against any of the John Wayne-Maureen O'Hara films, which is about as high praise as I'm capable of.
My favorite element - throughout the movie MacLaine rides the smallest mount I've ever seen. The burro she's saddled to is shorter than many domestic dogs, although both rider and mount maintain as much dignity as the circumstance allows.
