Description:
From the director of Drugstore Cowboy and My Own Private Idaho comes a star-studded comedy based on the best-selling novel by Tom Robbins. The cowgirls on the Rubber Rose Ranch are staging a rebellion. Delores Del Ruby (Bracco) is leading the uproarious uprising, but it?s really Sissy Hankshaw (Thurman) who?s providing the spiritual leadership for this rag-tag bunch of female bandits. With her marvelous thumbs and her funky brand of femininity, she shatters all male chauvinist illusions and boldly goes where no woman has gone before.

If someone ever put together a what-were-they-thinking top 10, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues would surely make the list. Based on Tom Robbins's '70s ode to freedom, whooping cranes, and ambisexuality, this Gus Van Sant film sat on the shelf for almost a year before its brief release. More of a curiosity than anything else, it tells the convoluted story of Sissy Hankshaw (Uma Thurman), the world's greatest hitchhiker by virtue of her mammoth, um, thumbs. She falls in with a lesbian collective at a dude ranch and, well, the rest is kind of a mess. Kind of? Let's say it's a monumental mess, one of those films that's like a 25-car pileup on the interstate that you have to stop and look at, just to figure out what people like Keanu Reeves, Roseanne, John Hurt, and Angie Dickinson are doing there. A great score by k.d. lang, by the way. --Marshall Fine

Uma Thurman is not a very good actress. She's tall, & reasonably attractive, & sometimes blonde, but she was the poster-girl for the Uber-hip set in the late 80's/early 90's so for that set, she was a perfect choice as Sissy Hankshaw. Having read & loved this book, I knew she was not a good choice, and she was subsequently was named Worst Actress of 1993 for her terrible attempt to portray Cissy. Likewise, Rain aka Rain- bow aka Rain Phoenix was also miscast, as well as not being talented enough ... Read More

Gus Van Sant's rendering of Tom Robbins' masterpiece is superb and sureal. Uma Thurman couldn't be more perfect in the role of Yoni Yum model turned hitchiking goddess, Sissy Hankshaw. It's a must have for any fan of cowgirls!

The book is one of my favorites. The movie one of the worst I have ever seen (running close behind Hook and Twin Peaks - Fire Walk with Me). Back in 1993, I eagerly awaited the movie when it first came out, I had loved the book so much. But there were apparently significant production problems which constantly delayed production. When it came out, the reviews were terrible. I am not sure if it was ever released widely. In NY it was only showing at the Angelika which shows mostly independent ... Read More

...what a hoot! It's not like the book and how could anyone make a movie just like a book this wild? Every time I watch this movie I laugh until my sides hurt and Delores Del Ruby!...holy cow!...

First of all I read the book and then saw the movie. If you are planning on doing this then I'd say that you will be very disappointed. I loved the book and hated the movie. The book is about 420 pages long and the movie is like a clip show of the book. Highlighting the major parts of the book.
I don't know if Gus Van Sant meant to leave out some of the (what I thought) best parts of the book because he felt that people should read the book or because the producers felt that an 140 ... Read More
