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]

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

Too many tangents hurts the flow of the film and Vince Vaughn, while sickly funny, gets to be too much to take.

Avoids any kind of crime-movie cliche, mining new comedy from its unique characters and their impossibly low standing in the mob.

Bobby and Ricky's squabbling routine is funny stuff. Too bad Favreau's "Made" never gives them a reason for being together.

You still laugh a lot in spite of a lot of jittery babble.

Mr. Favreau demonstrates an admirable need to anger the Swingers faithful ... That ambition doesn't translate into a very good movie.

Lacks the visual virtuosity and breathless pacing director Doug Liman brought to Swingers. But the Vaughn-Favreau chemistry still flares and Favreau's fine ear for comic dialogue hasn't dulled.

A consistent pleasure, a delightful blend of farce and sentiment, its flights of fancy well-grounded in the foibles of human nature.

If you liked Swingers, you'll like Made. But don't expect as many quick laughs.

Ought to satisfy your need for a funny, grown-up summer movie.

Lacks the appeal of Swingers, which was so much richer in its characters and social observations.

Made is little more than a rambling chain of combative buddy mishaps, but the interplay between Vaughn and Favreau, who does great double takes of thrusting chin frustration, spins you through the weak patches.

Picture the dopes from Dumb and Dumber getting mixed up in organized crime -- but without benefit of Jim Carrey's rubberized pratfalls or his go-to-hell anarchism.

The brilliant dialogue between Favreau and Vaughn that made Swingers a hit is even funnier and more confrontational here.

[Bobby's] journey --comic, goofy, hard -- seems worthwhile.
