Slick suits, hip urban nightspots, and an over the top performance by Vince Vaughn make this rambunctious farce an enjoyable and unpredictable movie with some obligatory fist fighting.

| Original Score: B | Aug 22, 2009

A joyless experience with an often irritating, bland, and pointless movie.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 29, 2009

Vaughn hits the bullseye as a strident, volatile jerk who can't keep his mouth shut. You never really like him, but you can't wait to see what he'll do next -- his missteps and offenses are so unbelievable you wince, but you can't look away.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 20, 2008

Unfortunately, Vaughn repeatedly crosses the line between persuasively playing an obnoxious character and coming across as nerve-gratingly self-indulgent.

Difficult Second Movie hurdle negotiated. Just.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 30, 2006

The same offbeat sensibility that informed Swingers is also evident here, except that unlike the 1996 film, which dealt with real issues, Favreau's new crime-comedy is plotless

| Original Score: C+ | Aug 22, 2006

If the film's too ready to go with the flow of Chris Doyle's handheld camerawork, and sometimes seems ad hoc, its spot-on attention to the faux pas of the moment certainly raises a smile.

| Jun 24, 2006

A picture that may not end up with the fervent following of its flashier predecessor, but one that merits a viewing.

Swingers fans beware.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | May 14, 2003

The film isn't as clever as Swingers but it boasts enough witty dialogue to make it entertaining.

| May 13, 2003

The plot seems to be nothing more than a translucent bridge to the next scene where Vaughn can run his mouth and Favreau can play off him as the longsuffering friend

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 19, 2003

As with 'Swingers' before it, the sparkling chemistry between Favreau and Vaughn is undoubtedly the highlight of 'Made'.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 13, 2003

Well-written and well-acted, though your enjoyment will largely depend on how high your Vince Vaughn tolerance level is.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 30, 2002

The script is nicely seasoned with jokes and surprise twists (right up to a contrived sentimental ending), and the two lead actors plunge into their roles with contagious enthusiasm.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 15, 2002

Made should be much funnier than it is, although I enjoyed the permanent fizzing of its humour on an internal level.

| Sep 9, 2002

There's a not-so-subtle attempt at rekindling the charisma Favreau and Vaughn showed in Swingers, and for the most part the effort succeeds.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 27, 2002

Most amazing is that Favreau not only keeps things hilarious even at their darkest, but he plays it all for keeps. There's not a "hip" or glib moment in the whole picture.

Full Review | Jul 24, 2002

Doesn't know when to step on the brakes before it turns itself in to a one-note shtick movie.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Jul 12, 2002

Favreau and Vaughn retain the ad-libbed give-and-take that sparkled in "Swingers."

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 20, 2002

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

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 20, 2002
