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

Reviews for Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights -...
The standup excerpts in the opening credits montage are, without exception, completely unfunny ... but, between a third and halfway through, things begin to pick up. All four comics deliver some first-rate material.
02/07/08
This ramshackle film cuts deeper as documentary.
02/06/08
Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show is a modest documentary that provides a good showcase for these four comedians.
02/17/08
Too crude in spots, 'Wild West Comedy Show' is still an amusing and revealing documentary about the daring art of stand-up comedy.
02/09/08
The end product is a delight, enthusiastically introducing four stand-ups experiencing their first taste of a blinding spotlight and reminding the audience that Vaughn remains an ace comic mind, no matter the bitter taste Fred Claus left behind.
02/08/08
While not overtly done, the entire movie explores what America is laughing about at this point in time -- and what people in the heartland don't find funny. Either way, it is illuminating.
02/08/08
Director Ari Sandel includes too many tour stops along with life-on-the-road laments, ...but the film still should please fans of stand-up comedy -- especially those who haven't seen the featured comedians before.
02/08/08
Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show succeeds when it focuses in on the comedian's homes off the range.
02/08/08
Vaughn could have used an editor, but Wild West still is a romp with a likable bunch.
02/08/08
A breezy and surprisingly enlightening glimpse at a segment of showbiz life and its importance to people dedicated to making us laugh.
02/08/08
While the tour looks like it had an appealingly ragged spontaneity and goofiness, the film itself is a chore to sit through at times.
02/07/08
...a pleasant mid-winter diversion, providing laughs while teaching us something about the work of those who make us laugh for a living.
02/08/08
Vaughn's ambitious dream project offers more than just a look at four budding stand-up comics, but a look at our country from a very unique perspective as well.
02/07/08
... a surprisingly insightful meditation on the personal stories that drive comedy.
06/26/08
A tad overlong, but as vanity projects go, this is warm, openhearted stuff.
02/07/08
Rarely since Easy Rider has a road-trip movie so successfully taken us there.
02/07/08
Vaughn's mischievous imprint hangs over all: slick, irreverent and begging for more -- of what, I'm not sure.
10/18/08
It is supposed to be a raucous ride of laughter, but it's thin on one important aspect: the jokes.
03/04/08
In several respects, Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show is a better documentary than it is a comedy concert film.
