Vince Vaughn's Wild West Comedy Show: 30 Days & 30 Nights—Hollywood to the Heartland (2006)
Director: Ari Sandel
Movie review
From Time Out Chicago
Vince Vaughn rounds up four comics for a 30-city tour; a film crew documents the shows and “shenanigans”; we weep. It’s like…ever get dragged to a reunion party for a trip you weren’t on and suffer through the ensuing PowerPoint photo montage? Yeah, we didn’t laugh either. It’s a damn shame, because the comics, especially John Caparulo, are freakin’ great outside of this lame doc vortex. Somehow, Vaughn—sweaty as the day he was born—has managed to suck all the fun out of a stand-up comedy special. The jokes fall flat and there’s no narrative whatsoever. We left the movie inspired to show Vaughn—or whoever—a few of our own punch lines, if you know what we mean.Author: Steve Heisler
