Sometimes you watch a movie that has potential to be a fun little movie for everyone but Wagon East misses the mark so often it almost feels intentional. There's too many characters for one-off, tired jokes that it can't allow for any real characters and not being able to give comedians like John Candy and Richard Lewis room to do their thing is a crime. The concept is pretty funny: "what if a group of settlers are sick of the West and wanna move back". The antagonists are poorly defined. A C plot of the Donner party that goes nowhere; missed opportunity. You could've cut half of this cast and it wouldn't have mattered. It pulled a couple chuckles out of me but this could've been so much better.
