Lack of good storyline.

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

They're funny. They work hard and live day to day. They can't catch a break. The only thing that contradicts that narrative is there own actions, like a bunch of reform school kids on an extended holiday. Some of the comics have such animosity towards their audience the comedy borders on social sadism. A fascinating documentary. Broken people make the best subjects and this doc has them in spades. My favorite comedians were Sean Rouse and Kristine Levine. Dirty fantastic stuff.

I loved this film. Calling this comedy edgy is an understatement. This is in your face so if you can't stand to be a little uncomfortable then leave the club or click your remote. Much the same as the theory that the great muse for music is heartbreak...the great muse for their comedy is dysfunction. What makes it funny is it is so real. I love these guys every one of them and Christine. Their brutal honesty comes though even in the worst bits. The music is also a must listen. Well done. Shitty at it's very best. In the same vein as the Aristocrats, these comics push each other, support each other even though at times they arguably hate each other. Their conflict reflects all of our struggles as humans trying to figure life out with the bunch of ass hats you are surrounded by because of work, because of culture or just because you drank too much.

Few people realize that what makes us laugh typically has a negative base. From slapstick of 3 Stooges smacking and poking each other to any typical sitcom, where the laughs are based on misunderstanding, miscommunication and misconduct. The Unbookables are equally guilty, but their material is based on topics far more real. Monologues are based on everyday, true to life subjects that might shock, disturb, or at least cause you to keep your laughter hidden inside. War. Cancer. Incest. Beastiality. Child prostitution. Cock gagging & anal gaping. These are subjects that few would imagine as having a funny side, but they do, as evidenced by the audience laughter. It may be strained laughter accompanied by a shake of the head or hands covering the face, but it's laughter. This group of guerrilla comedians are talented, but they sacrifice big venues, big paychecks and big distribution by staying true to their material. In uncommon style, this documentary leaves the stage, and follows their life on tour as they test their patience and sanity while crammed in a retro tour van, constantly simmered in alcohol and stolen hydrocodone, quickly establishing a pecking order where the most senior of the group is constantly harassed, not so much out of disrespect as out of the need to channel stress. A unique view of life on the road of darkest comedy that is definitely not for everyone. It forces the question: Do some find this comedy has gone too far simply because they learned that even the darkest subjects truly do contain humor?

This is a documentary about a few pathetic middle aged men travelling around in a van and drinking and acting like teenagers. They turn up for shows which they have apparently written no material for and the audiences hate them. Are they making a living from this? I've been to a few free comedy nights and open mic nights and never seen anything this bad. It was just really depressing to watch. These sad men seem to have no self awareness at all. It's not even funny while being dumb and rude and disgusting like the way Jackass is funny and you really like all their personalities (apart from Preston), I hated every one of these guys and me or any one of my friends could get on stage drunk any night of the week and put on a funnier show.
