Spoiler Points:
• Vince Vaughn receives a red, white, and blue guitar from Buck Owens (who has since passed on from this world) during the tour's opening days in Bakersfield, CA.
• Sebastian Maniscalco's underwear and sox get dry cleaned for the first time.
• None of the guys seems very excited about going out to a Katrina Victim campground until they show up and a kid recognizes Keir O'Donnell as the 'gay guy' from Wedding Crashers.
• Sometimes the comics all have to stay together in one hotel room?
• Despite their collective memory lapses, Peter Billingsley and Vince Vaughn actually first starred together in a "CBS Schoolbreak Special" not an ABC "After School Special" called "The Fourth Man" where Peter's character Joey Martelli uses steroids to help make the track team. His friend, Steve Guarino (Vaughn) tries to stop him.
• Justin Long comes along on the trip for some reason. His one major contribution almost rivaling his entire role in Strange Wilderness. He gets the idea to stack a few empty boxes on top of a sleeping Peter Billingsley. Mayhem ensues. Not really. Peter calls him some names and tosses the boxes on the floor. If you find yourself laughing while reading this, and somehow get the idea it's probably a lot lot funnier in the movie with the real people involved, then I apologize, because I'm not trying to be funny nor sarcastic, at least not any more so than was the film.
• Other than Vaughn, the true star of the film, and had it just been him on the road doing his comedy, this film might have actually had a pulse and a heart beat instead of just an occasional heart beat, was Keir O'Donnell and his inspired stage sketches of him and Vaughn as stick figures in racy combinations like him feeding Vaughn grapes or the two playing Twister. It's old school Sizzlean®--you know that fake soy bacon stuff.
• If John Caparulo is right, probably no one should ever eat out at fast food restaurants again.
