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.

Reviews for Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights -...
Good enough for an HBO special. But for a full-blown movie? No way.
02/08/08
Perhaps everyone who takes a long road trip with their friends should bring a video camera to capture memories. Whether, like Vince Vaughn, you believe these home movies are worth putting in movie theatres is another question.

Top CriticAfter 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.
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
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.
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
Is it Wild? Pretty mild, actually.
02/08/08
The tour stops may have been successful, as Vaughn claims, but the documentary of it comes off more as a well-intentioned vanity production than the career launching pad he envisioned.
02/08/08
Top CriticA 2 1/2-year-old collection of mediocre stand-up routines and dull backstage chatter, Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show demonstrates why comedy clubs require you to have a couple of drinks.
02/08/08
Top CriticVince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show imagines itself a contemporary equivalent of rootin’- tootin’ traveling entertainments like Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show. That’s a tall comparison to draw.
02/08/08
Top CriticIt's almost like you're watching a 100-minute trailer for a much better six-hour miniseries.
02/08/08
A revealing and often hilarious look at the life of a stand-up.
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
It's a funny comedy, and sometimes an even better drama.
02/08/08
Unfortunately, the four comics on the road trip are about on the level of your average Last Comic Standing contestant -- competent and just mildly funny, but unremarkable. Definitely no future Bill Hicks or Richard Pryor in the lot.
02/08/08
Even if you're a Vaughn fan, you'll have more fun watching him promote Wild West on talk shows than watching the film itself.
02/08/08
Vaughn could have used an editor, but Wild West still is a romp with a likable bunch.
02/08/08
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.
02/08/08
Top CriticDirector Ari Sandel, who made an Academy Award-winning short film, West Bank Story, shows generous portions of each comedian's performance. Students of the art will be interested in the commentary the performers provide.
