John Candy is the star of some classic films like 'Uncle Buck.' As far as I'm concerned, he's comedy royalty. Richard Lewis is another very funny guy, though his area of expertise is stand up comedy. I'm a fan of both, but somehow when they were put together for 'Wagons East!' the pairing isn't so good. How can two stars come together to make such crap? I blame cocaine. It was the mid-90s after all.
I'm surprised because I really love the genre of this movie. I don't just mean comedy. I also mean the fact that it's a wild west comedy about two guys who are complete idiots. I love people acting stupid in the wild west. There are so many funny ways to act stupid! But like a blind cowboy, this movie misses every shot.
