Slapping two actors who don’t seem like they’d make a good fit and hoping movie magic strikes. Westerns have died out (thankfully), and up until the review in question, another movie trope/genre that had all but vanished was the buddy comedy movie genre. One day this can be hot and on everyone’s minds and lips, the next it’ll be gone and buried so deep that no one will ever dig it up again. Movie genres can be as fickle as fashion trends.
