No one in this Western gets a fair shake. Young Samuel wanders the prairie in search of happiness and his beloved girl. But the American West isn’t for everyone, especially if you don’t know who it is you want to be. Someone ends up being the hero, someone the villain. But everyone just adores a damsel in distress.


Synopsis

Successful southern businessman Samuel Alabaster (Robert Pattinson) sets out for mountain country in order to finally meet his beloved fiancée Penelope (Mia Wasikowska). With visions of a new life, he brings wedding presents to the wilderness as well as a parson to marry the couple on the spot. But his trek won’t be an easy one because here nothing (and no one) is quite what it seems. This Western comedy, full of unexpected situations and plot twists, demonstrates that the Wild West isn’t for everyone, nor does everyone deserve a second chance. Is the preacher really a man of the cloth? Who is Penelope really waiting for? And what’s that little horse doing in Utah?
