Tired of playing second-fiddle to his obnoxious boss, businessman Dan Trunkman quits and forms his own competing mineral sales firm. He takes a retiring associate and a dim-witted sales applicant with him. After a year and a half of struggle, a promising deal is in sight -- then promptly folds, thanks to Dan's ex-boss. Determined to save the deal, Dan and company fly to Germany, where a series of outrageous obstacles awaits.

Critics Consensus

Unfocused and unfunny, Unfinished Business lives down to its title with a slipshod screenplay and poorly directed performances that would have been better left unreleased.

The movie gets dumber and more desperate as it goes.

2/5

It seems to have been designed as a family guy's workplace comedy on tour with the boys, a kind of EuroBusinessTrip with a heart: it fails dismally on all counts.

The crude humor and cloying sentiment mix about as well as motor oil and vinegar...

Tom Wilkinson is cast extremely against type for an immediately refreshing aspect.

Unfunny, nonsensical, and utterly without purpose, Unfinished Business is dead in the water long before the 20 minute mark.

Beyond the fact that it's laugh-less, unoriginal, and bland, there's a deeper problem with Unfinished Business. Had it been played as a straight drama, it actually might have been pretty good.

We laughed. It’s funny. It’s a terrible story but that doesn’t matter. It’s funny. It’s a movie not a film.

This movie was amazing, Dave Franco was hilarious, gets better every time I watch it, any bad reviews clearly don’t understand the comedy and just want to complain for no reason, would highly recommend for anyone wanting a to enjoy a night in and have a laugh .

This is better than the internship which was already excellent. Same starting point... lowest moment in the life of a dad when work and family crumble... same process out of misery... more humiliation but self esteem builds up through laughter and tears. An extremely clever screenplay very very well written very well directed kudos to the director and vaughn all the other actors are outstanding.
