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.

You people are miserable like it was a good movie, and not everything has to be deep thought-provoking stories or the funniest jokes you've ever heard. Sometimes it's good to just watch a simple movie shut the brain off for a bit and have a few laughs

Pointless movie with poor acting and ridiculous storyline. The introduction of partying at the youth hostel seemed particularly ludicrous. Don't waste your time with this tripe, even the ending is predictable and lame.

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Starts somewhat promisingly but slides into a tonal mess of a movie.

Unfinished Business is this comedy with Vince Vaughn, Tom Wilkinson, and Dave Franco. It’s about three guys trying to close a big business deal in Europe, but of course, everything goes sideways. They end up in all these ridiculous situations — crazy parties, weird locals, and a lot of awkward moments. It’s kind of a mixed bag. There are a few funny parts, and the cast is likable — Vaughn does his usual thing, Wilkinson has some funny bits, and Franco plays this super clueless but sweet guy. But the story’s pretty thin, and a lot of the jokes don’t land. I’d say it’s okay if you just want something light and silly to throw on, but it’s not a must-watch or super memorable.
