Sidekicks

About This Movie

So, Sidekicks is this quirky little TV movie from 1974 that merges comedy with a Western vibe, set in that post-Civil War backdrop. The plot follows two hustlers trying to snag a bounty on an outlaw, and honestly, it offers a pretty light-hearted take on the genre. The pacing has that classic TV movie rhythm—some moments drag while others pick up speed, keeping it interesting. The performances have this charming, almost campy quality, which adds to the film's unique atmosphere. It’s not exactly groundbreaking but you can appreciate the practical effects and the way it plays with classic Western tropes in a comedic light.

Sidekicks has had limited releases, often overlooked in the broader collector community. Its rarity on physical formats adds to its appeal, though it’s not widely sought after like bigger titles. Still, there's a niche interest among collectors who appreciate its oddball charm and the intersection of genres. If you're into obscure TV films or Western comedies, this might catch your eye.
