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]

About 30 comedy shows and could have been interesting for maybe 30 minutes. But it goes beyond that, until the actor and his far less charismatic buddies get on your 30th nerve.

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.

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.

...a pleasant mid-winter diversion, providing laughs while teaching us something about the work of those who make us laugh for a living.

An intermittently funny, by-the-numbers tour documentary that could easily have gone straight to DVD.

A good concert film might have been culled from Vaughn's 30-date LA-to-Chicago tour... But this is more like a DVD extra for that film

In several respects, Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show is a better documentary than it is a comedy concert film.

We never particularly care about the notion of the tour itself; it's a marathon, but so what? There is no effort to make the venues come alive; indeed, many of them are just names slapped up on the screen.

This loosely enjoyable documentary doesn't offer deep insights into the minds of comedians.

It's a mouthful of a title for a rowdy, ramshackle funfest that flies by on its spirited humor and surprising heart.

The delight stems from the quartet of lesser known comics Vaughn chose to place at the movie's center, as well as the unpretentious way we learn so much about them--their motives, pains, struggles and revealing ethnic and class backgrounds.

It's all easy to take, in a cable-TV sort of way, but neither outrageously funny nor especially revealing.

Only sporadically wild, but it does indeed go through some Western states. It also ends up feeling about as long and draggy as the title itself.

This is stand-up comedy here. Bring the funny and leave the rest on the bus.
