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]

Reviews for Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights -...
Break-out comedian Sebastian Maniscalo deserves his own TV series or a big movie.
There are moments of performing brilliance in Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days, 30 Nights -- Hollywood to the Heartland; there is enough intimacy with the characters that we care about what happens.
Vaughn's mischievous imprint hangs over all: slick, irreverent and begging for more -- of what, I'm not sure.
It is supposed to be a raucous ride of laughter, but it's thin on one important aspect: the jokes.
Vaughn seems to believe that bringing hundreds of F-bombs per night and such guest stars as 'the gay guy from "Wedding Crashers"' to the benighted masses that live between New York and Los Angeles is the domestic equivalent of a USO show.
After a while the movie's inside chumminess and the overgrown-boy schtick start to wear thin, making me wonder whether Sarah Silverman or Margaret Cho might consider filming a sequel with a busload of neurotic girlfriends.
The movie's amiable, impulsive, intense, and scattershot, and since those are qualities associated with Vaughn himself, in the end it's a fair representation.
Vaughn's idea and its execution make for a unique entertainment experience.
More than a vanity project for the currently hot actor but less than gripping cinema, either as a performance film or as a life-on-the-road tell-all.
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.
Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show is a sweet and affecting tribute to the shrewd charms of the American road show.
Its full title may be unwieldy and its humor a tad colorful for a family audience, but Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show is surprisingly endearing and chock-full of a genuine appreciation of the moment.
Stand-up tour doc offers laughs and amusing surprises, but doesn't justify a runtime as long as its title.
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.
If you were expecting an actual comedy concert film, however, you’ve got another thing coming.
While the tour looks like it had an appealingly ragged spontaneity and goofiness, the film itself is a chore to sit through at times.
Yee-haw, I love a good Wild West variety show! Disappointment sets in when it’s clear that there will be little in the way of variety.
A welcome, sweet-natured road trip that happily and willfully exploits Vince Vaughn’s marquee value to showcase a quartet of very deserving upstart comedians.
