When it comes to its underlying racial message, "The Ridiculous Six" still grates, and there are obvious moments when it appears to be punching down almost without realizing it.

"The Ridiculous 6 is everything wrong with Hollywood for the past two decades."

It's a lazy pastiche of westerns and western spoofs, replete with lazy, racist jokes that can't just be waved away with a waft of the irony card. Woeful.

The Wild West offers a new setting but Sandler and company do nothing more than stain it with their brand of asininity.
