Synopsis

The documentary opens with a brief clip from Shore's 1993 HBO special Pauly Does Dallas, followed by a title card reading "22 years later." Pauly, now age 45, prepares for his standup comedy tour and speaks about his life and about his ailing mother, Mitzi Shore. Pauly then leaves on his trip for Wisconsin and Minnesota and meets several colorful characters along the way.

It is an unscripted and true-life documentary, notably different in tone and style from Shore's previous films Adopted or Pauly Shore is Dead, which are in the mockumentary style.

Reception

The documentary won Best Documentary at the Downtown Los Angeles Film Festival and the editing by Troy Takaki and Joey Vigour was nominated for an Eddie Award for Best Television Documentary in January 2015.[1]
