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]

The natural rhythms of the (largely improvised) script create characters and situations that are authentic, hilarious and engaging.

It's Swingers meets The Sopranos as Favreau makes his directorial debut also in this fun gangland film.

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

This is a smart and funny movie with a surprisingly touching conclusion.

Without a strong hand to guide them, the stars flounder around, sometimes embarrassingly. "Made" has all the sparkle and zip of a martini made with vinegar instead of vermouth.

The script’s mildly diverting excursions into low-level drama and sporadically amusing set pieces aren’t enough to justify the price of a ticket.

Favreau gives his film a curious final touch of earnestness, even sentimentality, but he gets away with it and Made swings funkily along.

There are very funny moments, and some wonderful dialogue, but the film's self-consciously serious moments sit uncomfortably with the buddy banter.

The routines don't have the innocence (or anarchic slapstick) of Laurel and Hardy, but the set-up is the same, focusing on two blue-collar dopes who frustrate their supervisors.

It's like watching "The Odd Couple" starring a tooth and a root canal.

The film should be pleasing to the converted fans of Vaughn and Favreau...

Strong buddy film, light drama, it's own style of fumbling-thug comedy, and a sleeping right-hook of heart.

A good strong boxing buddy film, complete with light drama, it's own style of fumbling-thug comedy, and a sleeping right-hook of heart.

Every bit as mean-spirited and crude as Swingers was sweet-natured and charming.

All it did was make me want to watch Swingers again.
