    Laugh out loud funny

    Come for the beautiful Wyoming vistas, stay for the hilarious script, fantastic actors, and outstanding direction. Chaco is a standout and Flatface is the best scene stealer. I enjoyed every second of it. Beyond the above, the original score takes the film to the next level. It felt familiar and comforting while being new and fresh and exciting at the same time. Being from Wyoming I appreciated this exhibiting our great state in all its glory rather than filming in other locations masquerading as Wyoming. More movies need to take advantage of what the Cowboy State has to offer. I can't wait to show the rest of my family this movie-bonus that it's family friendly!

    Great story with awesome cinematography

    Creative movie that will make you laugh and also want to move to Wyoming for the scenery. The Counterfeit Kid has some very good actors who do a great job delivering a well written script. There is just the right balance of action and comic relief to keep you entertained as you follow the story of Jack aka Bloody Ben Harris. If you've been to Cody, WY or around the Big Horn Mountains, you'll recognize some of the places that were used in the film.

    When watching this movie, keep in mind it was literally made with someone's personal budget. The end product is absolutely amazing considering the resources available. Quality soundtrack as well!

    Hats off to Matthew Taggart for realizing his idea to make this film!

    Worth It!

    If you're on the fence about watching this film, just do it! Totally worth it. So many gems to look out for. First, the scenery in this movie is second to none. Sometimes I got caught up just looking at the breathtaking mountains, rivers and valleys and had to remind myself to focus on the story! The score was fabulous and could not have complimented the views any better. The plot and storyline were clever, suspenseful and hilarious. I also really enjoyed the well appointed special effects that made some of the scenes especially interesting. If you watch closely, you will find them. Watch it, you won't be sorry!

    Wonderful Wyoming Family Western

    What great fun!! Beautiful scenery and soundtrack! Wonderful family friendly movie with a good moral. Chaco character stole the show but Jack/Bloody Ben was nice to look at. Being from Wyoming I connected with so much of the locations and scenery. The fall colors are just beautiful.

    The music was top notch for an Indie movie as well. The orchestration was just lovely and I especially loved when it corresponded to each character such as when Chaco appears you get his "theme", which is a Spanish guitar.

    Costuming was also on point for the time period of the film. Just an all around wonderful film for the whole family!

    Delightful Western romance

    Such a breath of fresh air. Fun western shot in beautiful Wyoming. Lots of variety in shooting locations so there were many stunning views of an amazing state. Loved Chaco. He had perfect delivery and great expressions. All actors did an amazing job. The wedding had lots of cute kids as extras. The audience and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole movie - it was funny and clever and wholesome. I don't attend many movies anymore due to content but this is a great little Indy film appropriate for the whole family. The music score was perfect and I was impressed with how well it fit the characters and script. I highly recommend this for anyone who enjoys a well written movie.
