Actor Vince Vaughn proves a generous and expansive host in Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights - Hollywood to the Heartland. Organizing a monthlong bus tour of concert halls in 30 American cities, Vaughn packs his bags and lives aboard the four-wheeler with a quartet of relatively unknown comedians. Hitting a different town every day, the group simply does everything it can do to entertain people while Vaughn supplements all the comic monologues with sketches performed alongside some of his famous showbiz friends. The guest comics--Ahmed Ahmed, Bret Ernst, John Caparulo, and Sebastian Maniscalco--vary in concentration and quality, but you can see them growing as performers all the time. This full-length documentary spends a lot of time with each of them, even getting to know their parents and their hopes and dreams. Meanwhile, Vaughn is just having fun with the likes of old buddy Jon Favreau, up-and-coming star Justin Long (the young Mac dude in those commercials for Apple), and longtime friend Peter Billingsley (the child who got hit in the eye in A Christmas Story), executive producer of this film. Billingsley gamely recreates a scene he and Vaughn played together as teens in an after-school television special about steroid use--a definite highlight for Wild West Comedy Show. The film drags a bit during the biographical material, but there are many interesting and even upbeat moments, such as the tour group turning up in the wake of Katrina's devastation in New Orleans and helping to keep spirits up. --Tom Keogh

uneven material in an affable film October 23, 2008
Roland E. Zwick (Valencia, Ca USA)
In 2005, actor Vince Vaughn gathered together a handful of comedians from The Comedy Store in Hollywood - Ahmed Ahmed, John Caparulo, Bret Ernst and Sebastian Maniscalco - built an extended stand-up show around their acts, then took it on the road for a 30-city-in-30-day whirlwind tour across the United States, starting in Los Angeles and ending in Chicago, with 28 stops in between. Vaughn also brought a few documentary filmmakers along for the ride, the result being "Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show," an at best fair-to-middling account of that event.
Some of the backstage stuff is of moderate interest - particularly the comics offering a free show to some Hurricane Katrina refugees and Ernst's touching reflections on his older brother who died of AIDS. But one can only hope that we're not being treated to the best of the on-stage material here. For if truth be told, there aren't nearly as many laughs to be gleaned from these performances as one might expect given the caliber of talent involved. At best, the routines elicit a few hearty chuckles, along with a surprising number of humor-deprived dead spots. The behind-the-scenes activities are marginally more entertaining (the interviews with the boys' families are sometimes quite informative and amusing), but the movie doesn't provide nearly the depth of insight into the world of standup comedy that, say, Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedian" did a few years back.
Still the guys in the group are likable enough and their camaraderie ultimately becomes infectious, earning the movie at least a lukewarm recommendation, especially for devotees of the subject.
 Didn't Get It! September 23, 2008

Very disappointed! I ordered this product "used" from a seller and just got an email that said it's unavailable and that the amount I paid is being refunded. Very disappointing.

Warning! This is not the Blue Collar Comedy Tour with Vince Vaughn. It's not setup like a comedy show, it's done like a documentary. If your expecting an hour and a half of stand up then you'll be disappointed. However, if you like documentaries and are interested in a more "behind the scenes" look at this type of tour and what really makes these guys tick then you will definitely enjoy this dvd. It follows the comedians as they visit 30 cities, in 30 days, doing 30 shows. It gives you a glimpse into their personal lives. How they got where they are now, and what life is really like on the road. Some interesting points are: -Peter Billingsly, Ralphie from "A Christmas Story" all grown up. -How the comics and the handled Hurrican Katrina and Rita (takes place in fall of 2005) -How much of a complete mess Vince Vaughn is... lol Definitely worth watching if you're really into comedy.

This was pleasantly not what I expected it to be. Although packed with comedy, it was more of the background story of these comedians and what their experiences were in this journey. I was already a huge fan of Vince Vaughn, but his appreciation shown to American culture, and the eye-opening experiences he had the ability to lead others on, made me respect him even more.
