The article reflects on the impact of the movie City Slickers, particularly from the perspective of an individual rewatching it after two decades. Initially captivating as a child for its adventurous spirit, the mature themes and humor become more apparent as the viewer grows older. The author notes the lingering effects of the film's more adult jokes and how it progresses from a comedy about adventure to a deeper exploration of mid-life crises. In essence, the film evolves from mere entertainment to a relatable narrative for viewers in their middle age.
"I was a little surprised at how many mature jokes, innuendo, and asides are embedded in the movie. Some of the more adult humor really landed with me during my rewatch, making me laugh out loud."
"What struck me the most about rewatching the movie after a 20+-year hiatus, however, was the fact that City Slickers feels like a coming-of-age film for those of us who now find ourselves in middle age."
