While there is a great deal of laughter among the quartet, there's scarcely a giggle in it for the audience.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
Rotten
Michael Blieden's indulgent and often numbingly slow documentary follows four semiknown comedians on a tour of the United States.
Laura Kern, New York Times
Rotten
Watching the quartet doing laundry, playing arcade games, or getting haircuts evokes the banality of road life far too accurately, and at 105 minutes, the film hardly leaves us wanting more.
