Reaction: Clearly the Lucky Luke franchise has a pretty consistent fan base at this point. This film grossed slightly more than the first entry, but has drastically lower profits due to increased talent costs and a smaller home video haul.
"This sequel addressed and corrected many of the flaws from the first film, namely the comedy and plotting. Skip the first and one and start with this entry." - Paul Onkean, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"While Lucky Luke and Calamity Jane is much funnier than its predecessor, the comedy is still inconsistent and sporadic."" - Michael Van Patten, Slant Magazine
"I was all ready to get my Paul Rudd fix, but he's drastically under utilized in this film, despite playing the title character. It's like a Bond film if the Bond Girl had more to do than the titular secret agent himself." - Stephen Anderson, Entertainment Weekly
