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

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.

With both movies and 온라인카지노추천 constantly mining mob life for script fodder, Made never comes up with a new twist on the material.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 22, 2002

Favreau gives his film a curious final touch of earnestness, even sentimentality, but he gets away with it and Made swings funkily along.

| Jan 26, 2002

There are very funny moments, and some wonderful dialogue, but the film's self-consciously serious moments sit uncomfortably with the buddy banter.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 21, 2002

The stars are hilarious and the supporting cast is perfectly in tune with the spirit of their comedy.

Full Review | Aug 9, 2001

Made isn't in a particular hurry to get anywhere, but Jon Favreau's script has the feel of improvisation done right.

Full Review | Aug 2, 2001

The comic invention at work here -- Vaughn's and Favreau's -- make Made into a rough gem.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 27, 2001

Amusing in the offbeat humor that comes from the wackiness of odd but believable characters.

Full Review | Jul 27, 2001

Won't take the team of Favreau and Vaughn beyond the audience they won with Swingers, but for the converted, it is equally confirming and rewarding.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 27, 2001

If there is a more annoying performance than Vaughn's in a movie this year, it can only mean the real Jerry Lewis has made a comeback.

| Jul 27, 2001

I wish Made hadn't been made. And if it had to be, I wish it had been made as a silent movie.

| Jul 27, 2001

A movie with better potential than actual results.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 20, 2001

At some point the source of the laughs ... goes from entertaining to obnoxious.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 20, 2001

So miscalculated and chafingly unfunny is this movie it will leave you convinced that if the gangster comedy isn't killed off by actor-driven improv riffs like this, maybe it ought to be. Better dead than more like Made.

Full Review | Jul 20, 2001

The kind of crime comedy that you root for even as it grows progressively more irritating.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jul 20, 2001

The movie is difficult to describe because it's not what happens that matters, it's how it happens and why.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 20, 2001

Likely to leave fans missing the fresh hit of Swingers and leave newcomers wondering what some of the fuss was about.
