Good for Nothing is an adventurous romp set in the sweeping Old West. Inspired by the Spaghetti Westerns and celebrating the Western genre with an interesting twist, the film follows an odd romance and the resulting emotional confusion of an outlaw who reluctantly develops strong feelings for a woman he has kidnapped.

What are critics saying?
The title is apropos, but it's also an understatement.
The Hollywood Reporter by Michael Rechtshaffen
Imagine a Kiwi spaghetti western filtered through the offbeat sensibilities of early Sam Raimi or the Coen brothers and you've pretty much got the picture that is Good for Nothing.
Village Voice by Nick Pinkerton
Good for Nothing has a nice comic sense of the brushfire eruptions of Western violence.
Good For Nothing is billed as the first Western shot in New Zealand, but that tourist-brochure distinction pales besides its more pungent claim to fame as the first Western whose hero spends the entire film attempting to overcome a bout of erectile dysfunction.
