  • Starring: Ahmed Ahmed, Bret Ernst, John Caparulo
  • Summary: Vince Vaughn’s Wild West Comedy Show chronicles the journey of Vince Vaughn 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 skeketches with surprise celebrity and musical guests. Vaughn handpicked four national comedians from Los Angeles’ world famous Comedy Store—Ahmed Ahmed, John Caparulo, Bret Ernst and Sebastian Maniscalco—to perform on the tour. 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, this 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.

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

    Native Chicagoan Vaughn remains enigmatic, protected from the camera’s more candid intrusion. But you get a sense of his deep values, virtuous instincts and quiet love of ordinary people.
  3. It's almost like you're watching a 100-minute trailer for a much better six-hour miniseries.

    West is heavy on Vaughn, at least initially, but woefully short on comedy.

    I LOVED this movie. The comics are hysterical and the struggles they go through to do what they love are inspiring. I saw the actual show when it was on the road, so it's nice to see the behind the scenes of such a terrific time. Expand

    The worst movie I have seen this year. It is not even a movie nor a documentary but something that a kid would do in their backyard experimenting with a video camera. Probably worse. What a ripoff. There was nothing funny. Expand
