Following their success five years before with SWINGERS, Jon Favreau and Vince Vaughn team up again in MADE, a comedy about two very different down-on-their-luck L.A. friends who get caught up in a dangerous deal in New York City. Favreau stars as Bobby, a hardworking, very serious construction worker who dreams of becoming a boxer and settling down with his stripper girlfriend (Famke Janssen) and her young daughter. Vaughn plays Ricky, an obnoxious ne'er-do-well who thinks that pulling off a big job for boss Max (Peter Falk) will be their ticket to the big time. The duo is sent off to New York to take part in a deal they know nothing about; while Bobby waits calmly for them to be discreetly contacted, Ricky never shuts his mouth, barking orders at random people, flashing his green and his wry smile all over town, annoying the heck out of everyone he meets, especially Ruiz (Sean "P-Diddy" Combs), who is their connection. The film is beautifully shot by master cinematographer Christopher Doyle, who recently filmed Wong Kar-Wai's stunning IN THE MOOD FOR LOVE. Bobby and Ricky make the perfect pair; Favreau is often silent in scenes, watching deadpan as Vaughn steals the show as the brazen, overbearing, but lovable Ricky. To lend authenticity to the film, Favreau shot it in such landmarks as Hollywood High, Tavern on the Green, and the Central Park Zoo, and he hired SOPRANOS stars Vincent Pastore (Big Pussy), Federico Castelluccio (Furio), and Drea de Matteo (Adriana) to further the mob connection. The film was coproduced by Peter Billingsley, who played Ralphie in 1983's beloved A CHRISTMAS STORY. [More]

Unfortunately, Vaughn repeatedly crosses the line between persuasively playing an obnoxious character and coming across as nerve-gratingly self-indulgent.

With both movies and TV constantly mining mob life for script fodder, Made never comes up with a new twist on the material.

Made isn't in a particular hurry to get anywhere, but Jon Favreau's script has the feel of improvisation done right.

The comic invention at work here -- Vaughn's and Favreau's -- make Made into a rough gem.

Amusing in the offbeat humor that comes from the wackiness of odd but believable characters.

Won't take the team of Favreau and Vaughn beyond the audience they won with Swingers, but for the converted, it is equally confirming and rewarding.

If there is a more annoying performance than Vaughn's in a movie this year, it can only mean the real Jerry Lewis has made a comeback.

I wish Made hadn't been made. And if it had to be, I wish it had been made as a silent movie.

At some point the source of the laughs ... goes from entertaining to obnoxious.

So miscalculated and chafingly unfunny is this movie it will leave you convinced that if the gangster comedy isn't killed off by actor-driven improv riffs like this, maybe it ought to be. Better dead than more like Made.

The kind of crime comedy that you root for even as it grows progressively more irritating.

Despite the film's faults, Favreau puts a fresh spin on the mob movie genre, and that's something we can all admire.

The movie is difficult to describe because it's not what happens that matters, it's how it happens and why.

Likely to leave fans missing the fresh hit of Swingers and leave newcomers wondering what some of the fuss was about.

Favreau and Vaughn have chemistry to kill: comic, combative and engagingly goofball.

Made, with its undernourished plot and fizzle of a climax, isn't exactly breaking new ground in mob comedy realism.
