Good for Nothing may be slight, but it portends a promising frontier for Mr. Wallis.

Slant Magazine by Chuck Bowen

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.

The A.V. Club by Sam Adams

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.
