John's Movie Musings

How can you make stand-up comedy boring? Ask Vince Vaughn. He's proven to be an expert in Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show.

Here's the premise of this snoozefest. Vince Vaughn takes four "comedians" on a bus tour of America. They cover 30 cities in 30 days (or something like that) all across the South. In addition to the four main comics, a few others drop by on occasion and add a total of 0 cups of Not Funny to the recipe. Look at that poster. See all those faces? None of them bring the funny.

Actually, there was one part where the Mac Guy mocks Vince Vaughn in Swingers. That was the first scene of the movie and it's the best.

Now I realize that stand-up comedy is all relative. There might be some of you who might like these guys. I've seen better talent on Last Comic Standing. The first ones cut. Then again, there are people who liked Superbad. Who am I to judge?...since that's basically all this site is.

Another problem is that locking a bunch of comedians in a bus should result in hilarious situations. Unfortunately, these guys are all jerks. I wouldn't even want to shake their hand after a show. That's assuming I was forced to attend one of their shows at gunpoint.
