Mystic Trails of Hilarity
- Tagline
- When the ancient past collides with forgotten memories, history has never been this amusing!
- Description
- In 'Mystic Trails of Hilarity,' a quirky Cowboy named Codfish Cal (Salmon-uel L. Jacksalmon), whose gunslinging days are long behind him, joins forces with a scatter-brained Historian, Professor Wits End (Frank Langoustinella), and an eager, yet clumsy Anthropologist, Dr. Olive Branch (Emma Tomatson). The trio embarks on a comical journey to uncover secrets of their Native American ancestors during the mystical ancient era. Using unreliable ancient texts, comically inaccurate myth interpretations, and ludicrous reenactments, they unravel one hilarious historical mystery after another. Directed by John Carpinter, this movie is a lighthearted romp through time that guarantees not just laughter, but a surprisingly whimsical education that resonates with the whole family.

Strap on your chaps and ready your giggle-laced arrows for 'Mystic Trails of Hilarity', a film where history books meet comic strips in a barn dance of absurdity. Johnny Carpinter steers this chuckle-chariot with a deft hand, corralling a cast led by the ineffable Salmon-uel L. Jacksalmon, whose Codfish Cal is all the comic seasoning this chowder of capers needed. His partners in this temporal two-step, the delightfully daffy Frank Langoustinella and a pleasingly hapless Emma Tomatson, fumble through faux-pasts with the kind of earnestness that'll tickle your intellect while it pickpockets your seriousness. The gags shoot faster than Cal's own side-arms, and the feel-good vibes are as wholesome as a baked potato at a campfire shindig. Yes, some jokes may have the archaeological depth of a kiddie sandbox, but the charm is fossilized in every frame. 'Mystic Trails of Hilarity' earns its 'G' with glee and serves up a 7.8 on the Richter scale of riotous revelry.
