17. Wagons East! (1994)
Starring: John Candy, Richard Lewis, John C. McGinley
Directed By: Peter Markle
This film is about a group who’ve had enough of the Wild West, so they’ve come up with the idea to go back to the east. It may sound interesting but most movie critics from Rotten Tomatoes didn’t just raise one eyebrow, their thumbs were pointing down, too. Jonathan Rosenbaum from Chicago mentioned that this was an “unfunny western comedy…lame in its writing and direction.”
Not that surprising though, as its Tomatometer still got 0% with only 29 reviews, while its audience score was at 38% out of more than 5,000 ratings. Wagons East earned a gross of $3.7 million and had a duration of 1 hour and 46 minutes. However, John Candy and Richard Lewis are a fascinating tandem, so if you want to see it, you can always use your debit or credit card to purchase or rent the movie on Amazon’s Prime Video or Apple TV.
