Erik Davis, writing for Cinematical.com, goes hyper-prissy on us:
I know, by this point you’re just dying for more information on Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show (ugh, I feel dirty just writing that).
Yes, Erik, and we feel dirty just reading your garbage.
He goes on to explain (while never missing a chance to say something negative) that nearly every minute of Vaughn’s 2005 30-city comedy tour was filmed and that the movie made from the footage will be distributed to theaters early next year. Davis then goes on to compare the project to Tourgasm, about which he says:
Parts of it were cute, but whenever you get a group of stand-up comedians together on a tour bus (and they’re all being filmed), you can’t help but cringe as they speak to one another with this shtick-like dialogue– as if every other sentence is a punch line to a joke you never asked for in the first place.
Uh… Erik… they were speaking to one another… so, like, technically, we didn’t ask for the punchline to the jokes in the first place.
Davis never mentions the comedians featured in the movie by name, so we will– Bret Ernst, John Caparulo, Ahmed Ahmed and Sebastian Maniscalco.
