User Review

outrageously outlandish interactions

Rating:

Jon Favreau's 'proper' follow-up to 96's 'Swingers' see's him as part of a
double-act with Vince Vaughn. The whole film is based around this
double-act, and the various banter that passes between them – mostly
ricocheting from Vaughn's outrageously outlandish interactions with everyone
he meets, and Favreau's handling of the ensuing situation.

At times this makes for extremely funny entertainment, at other times
however it makes for extermely cringe-inducing entertainment. Your not quite
sure whether to love Vaughn's antics, or want him dead. Your also left
wondering exactly WHAT Vaughn's character helped Favreau's out with in their
younger days in order for Favreau to have such as deeply-routed tolerance
and understanding for the man…. personally, I would have gotten rid of him
years ago.

The story itself takes a backseat because of Vaughn's antics, which is a
shame, cause there's some really juicy material in there. I would have loved
to see more development between Favreau and his girlfriend, played by Famke
Jansen, and also Jansen's daughter. Peter Falk (yes, 'Columbo') is
absolutely brilliant as Max, the ageing boss, fully believable and a
fully-realised characterisation.

Overall the film fit's together extremely well – the pace is fast, and you
do get caught up in it… even during Vaughn's most cringe-worthy moments.
Basically if you like 'Swingers' or general crime-capers, you'll love
'Made'.
