Plot summary

The Unbookables is a narrative documentary about stand-up comics who have spent their careers pushing limits--on stage and off. Relegated to small venues and touring in a crappy van through the Midwest they careen between the desire to succeed and the reality that there may be nothing left to lose. Road life is far from glamorous: comics come and go and cruel pranks and hard drinking punctuate their obsidian dark comedy on stage. They succeed and fail-spectacularly. When they face being fired for going too far on stage, the conflict culminates in a showdown: compromise or double down?

Move along, nothing to see here, folks

If you click on the reviews that score 7 and above, they are virtually all written by one-review-wonders - aka, people who were involved in the production. This is one of the most tedious and pointless "documentaries" I have ever experienced. They have assembled a crew of some of the unfunniest, least appealing, least engaging comics on the planet, who then spend the rest of the film riding from dive bar to dive bar in a filthy bus, smoking their lungs out the entire way. You may have more fortitude than I have, but I was only able to handle about fifteen minutes, and that achievement was pretty tough. Presenting this as a study of comics who push against limits might be a way of justifying this waste of time. But the truth is, there's not a shred of humor here.

Unbookables was Unwatchable

The premise to the Unbookables sounds promising - take a few dark, neurotic, blue material comedians and stuff them into a van and a series of small condos and hotels and funny stuff is likely to happen. However, in the case of this bunch, the chemistry wasn't there for organically humorous developments to unfold. In an attempt to remedy this, the show included dozens of staged conflicts and scenarios that fell flat.

The on-stage footage included a rare funny story line or joke but the majority of the material was dull and akin to an open mic performer bombing. And the footage wasn't so bad that it was good.

Although the film includes Doug's name, he only makes a few short appearances. While these comics share his style (more Andy Andrist than the others), they are not nearly as funny as Doug, even on a bad day.

Dane Cook sucks & you know it.

I have always been a huge fan of comedians and I don't usually find many I haven't seen before.After getting over the shock of never having heard of this movie, I was even more surprised that I had only heard of two of the comedians in it.This documentary is a great look into the road lives of real comedians.I'm sure the average person won't find any of these guys funny.They also won't feel sympathy for them when ten people come to a show and they can't even afford to buy a can of snuff.No, the average person only cares about Dane Cook or whatever unfunny douche bag is currently hot.Traveling in a private plane and performing for sold out arenas full of comedy impaired mental midgets.For those who think this movie is supposed to be funny, it's a DOCUMENTARY.They aren't supposed to be funny, they are supposed to be informative.If you want to laugh at a documentary, go watch some of that Errol Morris crap.That guy is a real joke.If you like real comedy and real documentaries, watch this.
