This documentary was an interesting look at life on the road for Pauly Shore, who brought a camera crew with him to document a week long winter comedy tour through Wisconsin and Minnesota. There appears to be very little effort to glamorize his current existence as we see him staying in some pretty budget looking hotels, failing to sleep with female fans, counting seats in venues to make sure he is paid appropriately and peeing into a plastic water bottle before a show since there was not a performer's bathroom backstage. Speaking of peeing, besides the bottle incident, there were probably about 10 other separate scenes of Pauly peeing due to his self professed enlarged prostate. I have no idea why he decided to include so much footage of his back to a urinal, but there it is.
I went into this movie expecting to hate this guy, since my impression of him was based on his persona from 20 years ago when he was doing his weasel shtick from the MTV Spring Break Beach House. However, as I watched the movie, I felt like he came off as a really nice, normal guy who was struggling like anyone else with his career, relationships and family and doing the best he can with everything.
Overall, I really enjoyed the movie and hope it finds an audience beyond already existing Pauly Shore fans and people with urine fetishes.
