Not bad, not good.
<em>'The Castaway Cowboy'</em> is a run-of-the-mill live-action offering from Disney. The casting is fine but plain, while the plot is alright if unspectacular and entirely predictable - especially the love story, which is one of the most obvious I think I have ever seen. The humour is decent, probably the best part of this.
James Garner (Costain) and Vera Miles (Henrietta) are a duo once again, following on from their exploits together in <em>'One Little Indian'</em> a year prior. Eric Shea plays Booton, who I feared would be yet another annoying Disney kid actor but he's actually OK all in all.
The villains are extremely forgettable, in fairness Robert Culp (Bryson), Gregory Sierra (Marruja) and Nephi Hannemann (Malakoma) don't get much to work with - unexplored potential; solid actor choices.
This should be far more entertaining, especially as it's an adventure film.
