Bobby (Jon Favreau) is a nice likable guy. His friend Ricky (Vince Vaughn) is obnoxious and can't keep his mouth shut. He doesn't realize everything is his fault. After a few screw ups they are sent from LA to NYC to make a drop, something that never made any sense, even to the characters in the film.The film is mildly humorous. There isn't much of a plot.Guide: F-word. Nudity (porn star Jenteal)

"Made" was the movie that reunited Jon Favreau & Vince Vaughn five years after their surprise breakthrough hit "Swingers". This time, Favreau himself handled the directing duties for the first time in his career, while also writing the screenplay.The setup this time around has certain similarities to "Swingers". This time, instead of being a struggling actor, the lead character is a struggling boxer. The dynamic between the two main characters is also quite similar.The story itself concerns a couple of unsuccessful pals getting involved in low-level organized crime by way of a money-laundering deal. Favreau's character tries to maintain some semblance of quiet professionalism while Vaughn's loudmouth character continually does and says the wrong thing practically every step of the way.As before, Favreau & Vaughn work very well together. Favreau is more or less the straight man while Vaughn is the enthusiastic but often clueless joker. In support, there are some memorable performances from Famke Janssen, Faizon Love, Peter Falk and (surprisingly) Sean 'P. Diddy' Combs. Also, watch for Bud Cort & Sam Rockwell in small, uncredited roles.Favreau's direction is ably handled, though it doesn't have the same panache that Doug Liman brought to "Swingers". My bigger concern is with the screenplay. There are plenty of laughs but in the final act it seems that Favreau can't decide if he wants to veer towards silliness or seriousness.Ultimately, "Made" contains an ample supply of funny moments but I don't think that the story completely holds together. That being said, since the movie does succeed in recapturing at least some of the magic of "Swingers" I'd say that it's worthwhile in the end.

Slick suits, hip urban nightspots, and an over the top performance by Vince Vaughn make this rambunctious farce an enjoyable and unpredictable movie with some obligatory fist fighting.The same offbeat sensibility that informed Swingers is also evident here, except that unlike the 1996 film, which dealt with real issues, Favreau's new crime-comedy is plot less Vaughn hits the bullseye as a strident, volatile jerk who can't keep his mouth shut. You never really like him, but you can't wait to see what he'll do next -- his missteps and offenses are so unbelievable you wince, but you can't look away.The film isn't as clever as Swingers but it boasts enough witty dialogue to make it entertaining.

It's strange, but when I had finished watching the full 90 minutes of this unusual but decent Movie that it felt like I was watching a gritty drama rather than an off-beat, dark comedy. Vince Vaughn was decent, but never seemed to keep his mouth shut. Constantly harassing people and winding them up with 600 questions per minute. (It felt that much) His acting wasn't bad, but got on my nerves at times. Jon Favreau wasn't bad himself. The film actually opens up like an old Rocky film in a boxing ring with the huge US flag shown dominating the room. It definitely felt more realistic than any Rocky film and the cuts & black eyes looked real. Great job with the face make-up. At times it was almost documentary like as me myself loving realistic movies as I do, it made the film look promising. But the acting wasn't spectacular and I did find that Ricky Slade irritated me with the countless interrogations. Bobby & Ricky are sent on a job by bobby's father, Max, whom doesn't like or trust Bobby's lifelong friend Ricky because of an incident involving a carpet cleaning van. They fly across the states to stay at a luxury hotel. During the plane journey, Ricky constantly harasses a waitress who threatens to get him in deep trouble. They arrive at the hotel and it isn't long till they fight and smash a lamp because Ricky refuses to give Bobby the phone. The film certainly becomes darker and grittier from them on. I did think it was worth the watch, and with it not being a long Movie, I give it a 6.5 out of 10.
