A nice mumbo jumbo of a "Western" , having unlikely and unrealistic characters, spearheaded by Calamity Jane, though ironically and convincingly played by the multifaceted actress that Emily Bett Rickards is. It is mindlessly enjoyable and believe me or not, would have made a nice 6 to 8 parts mini-series.
Hope Stephen Amell does more quality productions, series and movies alike, clean-shaves more and would make a nice operative. If Henry Cavill can do it, he sure as hell can too.

Ready to settle down for an enjoyable new western movie than you have found it with Calamity Jane. Good nicely paced story - fast real looking action scenes and realistic gun fights and physical fights. Striking cinematography of the western landscape. An enjoyable western to watch. Realistic and natural sounding dialog that makes you feel that you are right back in the 1800's in the fabled Dakota territory. Deadwood was a rip roaring place full of rough and tough characters such as Wild Bill Hickok and Calamity Jane and the characters in this movie seem very true to life and believable and are well played by the selected actors.
Overall, this film just "feels" sort of odd.... like it's unpolished. There are just minor nuances that work against any "suspension of disbelief". Things like someone speaking one sentence in *too* perfect English. I.e. ".. that is how things are meant to be" as opposed to "...that's how things're meant ta be". Or one person looks sparkling clean when everyone else looks dusty and worn. Or.. the long hair wigs on the male actors just look unrealistic (if not reused between actors - seriously looks like the same long hair wig on several different actors).
There's FAR too much attempt at some sort of emotional pull for Jane.. but there's ZERO character development for her. This is NOT a story about how Jane got her nickname. Not even close. It STARTS with Jane already having her nickname and apparently some sort of reputation. It's not even a story about Jane really.... it's a story that *happens* to have Jane, Buffalo Bill, etc. In it - that's all. There's no reason all the character names couldn't have been changed to completely unrecognizable names, the film would have been the same.
Honestly, I didn't care about any of the characters - but it was CLEAR that was the intent of some scenes. It was clearly striving to be some sort of "emotional western". But came across as just formulaic and cliché.
Overall, this film has an air of a "made for TV" film.. that same melodramatic acting and soundtrack.. and storyline. LITTERED with clichés in scenes, characters, settings, and dialog.
This film is not really horrible, but it is exceptionally unremarkable and forgettable.
Some foul language, western violence. (shooting, etc). No sex or nudity or adult content (might have been a kiss at most).

I was in the mood for a good western. Something new and different. My mistake turning this on. It's downright horrible.
First the good -- the scenery is beautiful. That's it.
The script is really dumb. Just doesn't make a shred of sense. But the worst part of all is that the acting is really really really bad. Like almost laughable.
I have no idea who the woman that plays Calamity is, but she cannot act herself out of a paper bag.
She spends her time on screen mugging for the camera and putting on an obviously phony accent that she can't keep straight.
I was bored out of my mind 8 minutes into this fiasco.

The push from the studios for diversity and equality delivers us movies like this. Half rate action, changing accents, characters treated with reverence/respect/caution without any backstory to justify it, and an underwhelming end product.
I *get* that people want representation and variety, but this felt forced and contrived. Maybe we've been spoilt for choice with the range of modern westerns (Deadwood, No Country For Old Men, 1883) but this is not even close to the same league. It felt like it delivered WNBA level excitement. Acting is sub par, accents weren't consistent, and even the set/cinematography felt too CGI to be believable.
Watched on a whim - don't necessarily regret it, but won't be recommending it to anyone.
