Consensus: Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show has some entertaining moments, but is a mostly hit-and-miss documentary.

Runtime: 1 hr 50 mins

Genre: Comedies

Synopsis: Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days and 30 Nights – Hollywood to the Heartland chronicles the journey of Vince Vaughn, star of the hit films Fred Claus, The Break Up, Wedding Crashers,... Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days and 30 Nights – Hollywood to the Heartland chronicles the journey of Vince Vaughn, star of the hit films Fred Claus, The Break Up, Wedding Crashers, Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story, Old School, and Swingers, and four stand-up comedians as they traverse the country performing in a live variety show. In the spirit of the old west variety shows, Vaughn plays host to the ensemble of comedians and performs improvisational sketches with surprise celebrity and musical guests. Hand picked by Vaughn to perform on the tour, from the world famous Comedy Store in Los Angeles, are national comedians Ahmed Ahmed, John Caparulo, Bret Ernst, and Sebastian Maniscalco. The film provides audiences a rare opportunity to experience Vaughn and his team as they travel over 6,000 miles across the heartland of America and perform 30 shows in 30 days. Traveling to cities that don't ordinarily attract this type of entertainment, Vaughn and his team bring their unique styles and perspectives to regional audiences throughout Western, Southern and Midwestern states. Through rousing onstage performances and behind-the-scenes interviews, the engaging film breaks down the true essence of each comedian's life altering experiences and the personal and professional challenges that will unite four comics, one movie star and legions of fans from Hollywood to the Heartland. --© Picturehouse [More]

Vaughn's mischievous imprint hangs over all: slick, irreverent and begging for more -- of what, I'm not sure.

It gets to be a stretch until the tour winds down and you realize you're rooting for these guys to make it, and what a drag it would be if they don't.

It is supposed to be a raucous ride of laughter, but it's thin on one important aspect: the jokes.

Along with the comics' constant riffage and the doc's terrific, vintage-country soundtrack, the film's full of joyful moments that pretty much guarantee you'll feel better walking out than you did going in.

Where WERE you? I know, I know. The wind was blowing some ghastly mph and yes, the temperature was well below zero.Still, 'Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show' was worth getting out for.

There's a reason this lackluster documentary...has languished on the shelf since its premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September 2006...

Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show is a modest documentary that provides a good showcase for these four comedians.

The movie's just not all that funny. Vaughn's troopers -- as presented anyway -- are never more than mildly amusing.

Vaughn's star charisma carries much of the weight...their friendships and the charm of the low-key Putting-On-A-Show vibe wears us down into pleasant submission

Too crude in spots, 'Wild West Comedy Show' is still an amusing and revealing documentary about the daring art of stand-up comedy.

Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show succeeds when it focuses in on the comedian's homes off the range.

You get four decent comics plucked from obscurity and given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play big venues packed with eager fans who would probably have roared at a 20-minute set by Alan Greenspan if Vaughn had deigned to give him his blessing.
